Wow it's been a week and and a half since the election so clearly despite the big win it's all hopeless. I mean the next session of congress hasn't even started yet but obviously nothing good can come from this so we should all just give up. Like right now. We should stop cause we're definitely not making any changes. Nothing to see here, the challenges are too great. The power of the rich is insurmountable, we know it's true because the news that they own keeps telling us how powerful and unstoppable they are. Which is definitely a thing you have to say when you're power is unstoppable.

  • Dramatic change by not changing anything we're currently doing about isreal committing genocide. Understood.

    Now would be the time to contact your representative to tell them how you feel about the party leadership.

    Which was the point. To make us feel like it's impossible. To make us feel like the monumental victory we just got was meaningless. To remind us the people with the money still control everthing, and most importantly to stop bothering.

    But if they have to keep telling us, over and over, and in so many ways, then we know it's not true. If it was they wouldnt have to tell us.

    They're still trying. We've had a victory, and we must build on it.

    Dont be discouraged when they use their power to undermine what we have done. Keep the pressure up. Notice how their news keeps telling us that it was their bought and paid for "leaders" won this victory for us. Notice how they tell us that now is not the time for new leadership, and how those leaders will win anyway. Keep up the pressure.

    Call your reps. Call your senators. Do it every time there's a vote on something. Anything. If they wont vote how you want vore for someone else in the next primary. Keep it up until their owned politicians lose or cant keep their positions any more.

    I look at these like chips ahoy cookies. They were once pure unadulterated treats not unlike what you would make at home but without the hassle. Over time they altered the recipe slightly. Many many times. And now chips ahoy cookies raste like sweetened cardboard with little tiny bits of what would be the minimum standard of what could be called chocolate. Ill still eat em if theyre in the house. But i know there are far better cookies to be had.
