    I’m not sure enough people with enough sense are actually voting…

      Would reminding them that Trump is a major reason abortion rights are on the backslide in the US help? Or that Republicans are running around banning (or trying to ban) books from libraries? Or that Republicans are largely refusing to allocate taxpayers’ money to help taxpayers?

        Aparently not?

        There’s plenty of logical reasons to deny him another term, but none of it seems to matter.

        I think that would work… Look at the recent democratic wins: it was mostly elections where abortion rights were on the ballot.

        How are Republicans refusing to help taxpayers?

          Here’s a recent article from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities detailing how they’re refusing to help in the form of the most recent House appropriations bill.

          It boils down to the fact that the Republican party’s position as being fiscally conservative typically entails reducing government spending by cutting funding to and thereby underfunding domestic programs that help taxpayers/citizens.

      It doesn’t fucking matter who we elect if we don’t hold them accountable with general strikes.
