        I am livid at seeing this kind of language on my government’s official commissions.

        How do we even find redemption at this point? How can the world ever take us seriously again?

          Easy. Elect Democrats in a landslide in 2026. Impeach Trump, send him to jail for the rest of his life. Impeach and arrest anyone complicit with his crimes. Replace those open seats with more Democrats. Put heavy restrictions on Vance and drum him out in 2028.

          Holding corrupt people accountable is the only way out.

            Voting isn’t enough. We need a plan B and it will take hard work. We need capable organizers, physical security, mutual aid, economists, doctors, and more. If that’s you, please consider joining the DSA.

            Conservatives have stacked the system in their favor through gerrymandering, coups, politicized courts, voter intimidation, and at times outright fraud. Not to mention that many Democrats vote alongside Republicans in favor of the oligarchs.

            Vote, yes, but also please help us make a society that renders oligarchy obsolete.

        This is why I sorta roll my eyes at the people who cry about the sarcasm tag. Poe’s law is too strong, it always wins.
