    Promising then, but we can’t be for sure until time is in its grave. It would be nice if something similar happened in the States. But I highly doubt it. If anything we are firmly moving in the opposite direction straight into hell. Which brings me back to my original statement, why deal with any of this? Get the people together, kick all the corpo dick suckers out, and if we have to have a government (not sorry, anarchist) let’s at least force one that works for the people. I know I’m not the only one who feels like they just can’t stand this any longer and I am beginning to feel like the activism I do is meaningless. I won’t stop, but I need change. And good change, fast.

      Election results in the US over the past 18 months do not support this.

        At this rate this all depends on the redistricting maps. I’m not holding my breath with the admin is saying openly they will rig it and send their thugs to the polls

          Redistricting can only help them so much. It will net them 8-10 seats if all states go through with it. The current margin is 5 I believe and the average flip for a midterm election is 27.

          If you’re worried about elections, sign up to be a poll worker. The more eyes we have on them the better, and it’s a way for you to become directly involved in making them safe and secure.

          That has nothing to do with the invalidity of your hypocritical logic. Feel free to think before shitting.

            Hmm, let’s see, one is a foregone conclusion desperately clawing to the oil it based its empire on. Very visibly losing credibility, power, and quality of life for its citizens. The other is an average country.

            Yeah sure, you’re right. Theres no other way to look at it. The fucken empire of the modern age is exactly the same as a small state. Exactly the same.
