In my entire lifetime, Dems get two years per decade to try to fix things, but the other eight years, Republicans go on a destruction rampage. Yet you're like, "Damn the Dems for not undoing all the damage fast enough!" How about, voters stop electing the GOP so damn much?!
[| kinda hard to do that when republicans are gaming and manipulating votes, while democrats keep trying to appeal to the already-core voterbase of republicans and leaving leftists entirely unrepresented |]
How many leftists do you believe there are in the US?
[ self-proclaimed, not quite so many, more likely to feel centrist or apolitical or whatnot while voting rightward (not like you have many other voting options anyway). but if you poll based on values, people overall are a good bit further left than the political parties! prri.org/research/com... ]
[ and the values of the parties themselves have a massive influence, so if americans already poll fairly centrally on individual values with all the propaganda going on *now*, they could so so easily be drawn towards politicians with progressive values. you just... need to find those black sheep. ]
If I came in your place w a sledgehammer & started wrecking shit, do you think you could keep up w repairs, let alone make any headway on improvements? What if I got to wreck things for 80% of the time, & you could only do repairs 20% of the time? You'd lose your mind.
