The fugitives include a Jan. 6 suspect who has been sought ever since the 2021 U.S. Capitol attack and two others who never showed up for trial, court records show.
I definitely don’t want to excuse how ineffective a lot of Democrats have been, but not voting isn’t how you change that behavior; getting more involved is.
Democrats already did. Fascism didn’t happen overnight. It’s been progressing for 40 years.
When Clinton passed NAFTA and ‘Don’t Ask Don’t Tell’, and you voted for him anyway, you helped fascism take root.
When Obama had a supermajority and all he did was tack on more wars, make health care more expensive, and enrich his wealthy donors and Democratic partisans voted to reelect him anyway.
Now we’re watching Biden, who is ignoring school shootings, police violence, escalating housing scarcity, a 12% jump in homelessness, stagnant wages, criminalization of abortion, and also doing nothing meaningful to stop the people who perpetrated 1/6, and you’re going to tell me that I have to vote for this person as a moral imperative. Biden’s time is eaten up by figuring out ways to add hundreds of billions more to the war budget instead.
The kind of apathy that killed this country is the apathy of the partisans, who voted for team color and just ignored the corruption.
I’m going to do what I already do, take care of myself and do what I can to take care of my friends. The only real impact any of us can have now is local, because the fascists have already won at the Federal level and I live in a very red state.
The only real plan I have at the moment is just to get a vasectomy sometime this year. I don’t want to risk fathering a child when it’s likely my state will criminalize abortion in the near future.
30 years ago maybe. It’s too late now.

If only people could eat all of these excuses that partisans make. No one would go hungry in this country.

What exactly is your plan for the future, if you really believe it’s too late now? Just let the fascists take over and hope they don’t come for you?
