In the face of an openly fascist regime, state and congressional Democrats are busy sending fundraising texts and scolding their own constituents. This is folly. Pre-2016 politics is never coming back.

    Well, I would only know my local area, where nobody’s seriously impressed me. We sure need some people to STEP UP and either run or lead a genuine opposition.

      Yeah I think that’s the case in a lot of places. It’s not fun or exciting to run for office unless you’re one of those “extrovert” people or just have a thick skin and really want to do some good.
