I think Brian is spot on here.

I've been doing a version of this (which hopefully some of you have seen):

Bidenomics is working, and, you can't fix 40 years of Reagonomic damage in 3 years.

It's going to take more than a few more years of the kind of policies Biden and Democrats are implementing to get the job fully done.

  • Strong support for labor
  • Investing in our infrastructure, including our working families

Today this is the case in 23 states with a Republican trifecta.

Let's make damn sure they can't threaten our #Freedoms in every state from Washington, DC.

Trump and MAGA Republicans will do what they always do when given the chance, cut taxes for their millionaire and billionaire donors and find ways to "pay" for it which will include cutting the number of people getting subsidies through the ACA and other government health care programs, you know, like Medicare and Medicaid.

Yes, more stakes and less horse race; unfortunately, the for-profit media isn't particularly likely to do so.

That leaves it up to us.

I am certain that many people care quite a lot.
Unfortunately there are very wealthy and powerful corporations spending significant sums of money on propaganda and politicians to try and stop us from taking the kind of action that is necessary.
And still, we are making a lot of progress. Not yet enough, but still a lot.

@MikeImBack

Wealthy reactionary elites are NOT blocking action. They're only slowing it down.

156.4 million Americans voted in 2020. That's a lot of people. Sure it'd be good if more people voted.

If we removed barriers to voting that White Supremacists have been throwing up for 150 years, more people would undoubtedly vote.

If more people had the time to learn about candidates, still more people would vote.

The number who don't care is a small fraction of the above classes of people.

"So did the heavy spending of conservative donors — including billionaire TikTok investor and school choice maven Jeff Yass, who personally gifted Abbott with $6 million in December to spend on the campaigns."

This is Yass' assault on public education as much, if not more than Abbott's.

Rural GOP legislators have been doing the right thing for their constituents. Yass doesn't care.

It isn't about learning, it's about being willing to knock your head against the wall, knowing there is a very small chance of getting the wall to cooperate, until you figure out a way to knock down the wall.

Democrats have removed part of the wall - they have the governor's mansion and a 1-seat majority in the PA House, working on taking the PA Senate (3 I think needed for a tie + Lt. Governor to break the tie).

Whether Trump is a Nazi adjacent fascist or just owning the libs, the MAGA GOP is populated, in part, by fascists, Holocaust deniers and Nazi sympathizers and the MAGA GOP leadership is perfectly fine with it.

Anyone who votes for Trump is also perfectly fine with it and that is extremely dangerous for everyone who is not White and Christian.

4 years to the day after George Floyd was murdered, here's where we are:

  • Racist people are just as racist as the day before George Floyd was murdered.

  • Black people are still asking for the exact same things.

  • "Liberal" and "Centrist" white Americans are more racist, and less supportive of DEI than they were the day before George Floyd.

  • Police budgets have grown faster than they did the day before George Floyd.

  • Biden has undone any of the gains made during the protests.

Online discourse: "You have to convince me to vote for Joe #Biden"

Why? I don't like Joe Biden. The idea that anyone has to convince you to fall in love with Joe Biden is as absurd of a #political assertion as the #MAGA cult and #Trump, that #politics is about #passion

We don't view politics as a love affair. It's #tactics. And more importantly, it's your #social #responsibility to vote

#Abortion, #TransRights, the #ClimateCrisis, etc: issues you care about, or should care about

But #Gaza...

Might I humbly ask that you add gun safety to the list, especially in light of Trump telling the NRA that he would roll back all of Biden's (modest) gun safety measures on day one. That includes putting guns back in the hands of domestic abusers.
