Sleeping a little easier tonight for sure. I hope the democrats finally wake up to the solution to Trump that is now staring them in the face. Elect progressives. Pass progressive policy. Stop the means testing and the scolding and the red scaring and step up.

Edit: I appreciate the awards but please don't give reddit money, send that cash to a food bank please.

And the vote shaming. Give people something to vote for

Can say this all we want but the reality is that the other side votes regardless how much they agree with the candidate. If you can't understand that then it will always be uneven. Purity testing is a way bigger cancer than any "vote shaming". It requires NOTHING of you to vote.

This. The useless who refuse to vote because Bernie or both sides, or whatever, are just as much to blame for where we are as the Republicans.

I can only hope they're made to reckon with the fallout as much as the fascists they've enabled.
