        Keep at it, or people like Bernie won’t even try.

        Down ballot is even more important, because those are races you can affect. There’s only 15-20,000 people voting in most US House primaries.

      I agree with that sentiment, shame I’m not actually from the US. My in-laws are but they’re (allegedly) too disconnected from politics to care. I still feel like they might be closeted Trumpers that don’t want to openly say so but who knows.

          Well I have been hearing them complain more about it being more difficult to make ends meet. Perhaps that’ll finally make them rethink their political stance.

            I mean just stating the endless facts, would be enough for a somewhat sane person to grasp how fucking awful this current administration is. There’s endless fuel every day. Just collect a list of the worst stuff, you can still fill the whole day with a fairly neutral list of facts… That should be enough motivation to vote them away…

              But if they don’t care, some facts won’t change that.

              And if they believe that Kamala would have been worse, you are done.

                sane person

                If you don’t care about getting poorer everyday, well you probably aren’t a sane person. Unfortunately the amount of insane people in the US seems to be growing for some time I guess…

                  If they don’t care about politics at this point, I can’t declare them sane by any means.
