I've yet to read one of your posts that proposes a viable solution. If we've met in person or are connected elsewhere, please reach out for a rational discussion--maybe you can enlighten me here as to how you feel we should be voting, particularly for those of us who vote in primaries, work the polls, deal with people much much much less fortunate than ourselves daily, etc.
I had a trans student tell me they're afraid to leave their room recently. "These trumpers are going to murder me and they'll get away with it."
I'm all ears here, pal.
Barring that, I no longer need to see our word on this forum.
I signed up for this forum many moons ago because it included a fairly audacious group of clever people that shared some of my interests but also brought differing perspectives and ideas that they didn't mind being challenged....sometimes quite vociferously and usually humorously.
I'm sure it's my fault for thinking that such a thing could persist, and
I probably should be paying better attention to the plummeting membership, but I intentionally participate here, among the fringe, rather than any larger audience/social media, because I know I can't convince anybody of anything, but still enjoy being a blowhard, and find it works as a simple therapy for venting my frustrations.
So you'll have to excuse me that a "Politics" thread on this forum can no longer sustain a sarcastic shit-take of politicians talking obvious shite.
I don't wish to engage you in any meaningful personal dialogue. I have nothing valuable on offer in terms of solutions. At the same time I salute you for making a difference to those that you engage with personally, but please allow that us less charitable people also like to run our mouths on occasion.
Just consider me a slightly less faltering Joe Biden, and without all the genocide stuff.
if you could please do that. help me come up with a way for more membership or i’m going to have to get a real job.

Good news for leftists who won’t vote for Kamala Harris! If you live in Washington State, you have not one, not two, not three, but FOUR different Socialist candidates to choose from!
Claudia De La Cruz of the Socialism and Liberation Party
Rachele Fruit of the Socialist Worker’s Party
Joseph Kishore of the Socialist Equality Party
and Cornell West of the Justice for All Party, which is in fact a self-proclaimed socialist party.
Just remember to do your research and vote for the only true socialist party, as three of the four are, in fact, not true socialist parties.
Also: UNITE!
I plan to vote for all four in an egregious act of voter fraud.
If you're in the Pacific Northwest, there's a chance all four ballots will be
set ablaze anyway, so it all evens out!

Personally I support the Popular People’s Front of Washington DC. Those monsters in the People’s Popular Front of Washington DC are secret capitalists.

Biden does need to shut the fuck up. Anyone can tell exactly what he was trying to say, but his gaffe was clearly going to trigger those fucking vultures.
