    The Dems are so incredibly useless. Probably doesn’t help that plenty of them are just fine going along with this nightmare. They’ve got theirs and their corporate donors don’t want the boat rocked.

    Democrats are really fucking up being the opposition.

        My hope right now is that this leads to some kind of democratic reform. It was long overdue. The system needs to be reworked from the ground up to protect the people and society as a whole. In the best case scenario, this could change the world drastically for the better. Similar to the labor movement.

        The circumstances that would breed such drastic change would probably be terrible though. But it’s the one thing that I keep hoping for
