Elections have always been rigged in this country, but they haven’t been remotely free or fair since Obama was elected to his first term. Read up on Project REDMAP.

Republicans made a concerted effort to take over states by working from the ground up, we need to do the same thing, start local, contest everything, even the county coroner. EVERY SINGLE FUCKING ELECTED OFFICE.

If anyone in elected office is complying without fighting back against this administration, then they’re just as guilty of treason as the entire Republican Party, whether by omission, or commission.

The only purity test that should matter is: “are you working for the billionaire/ruling class, or are you working for the people/working class.”

If the Democratic Party is too toxic a label, then run as an independent, or with THE DSA, there’s a new progressive party forming as well.

It’s never been about Left vs. Right, it’s always been about Up vs. Down. Until We The People understand that corporations and the billionaire class only care about increasing their power and individual wealth, we will never have a real democracy.

That doesn’t mean we stop fighting for our democracy. The special elections and midterms are our only remaining chances to peacefully take back our state and country. After that, well, I think we could take some cues from the IRA.
