Yes, Bernie, we know. We will because we have no other choice. Because of how absolutely broken and corrupt our entire political system is, we can vote for a ideologically repugnant lame-duck conservative or a literal fascist.

No matter how much we hate Biden and the DNC's corrupt, self-serving conservatism, we still have two brain cells to rub together and do, in fact, understand that "both sides" are most definitely NOT the same.

We need to forcefully reform the US political system... doing everything in our power to bust the current party system. There should never be a scenario where one party controls anything even remotely resembling power.

The first step is national RCV on all matters. Until we can get that, there is no other peaceful path forward.

Edit: The second step is aggressive campaign finance reform. The third is limiting all representative groups to day-to-day operations only, while guaranteeing that all legislative matters anywhere in the country are vetted ONLY by a public vote.

Republicans Are Wrong on Abortion—and They Know It ( www.thenation.com )

Oh they are. It’s just that when they say that, they mean government should be composed entirely of a small clique of their own choosing.

The data was already there. Twenty years of it. Remote work is not remotely new. They chose to ignore it because executive fee-fees are more important than facts and data.

This will require gradual change by actively working toward socially abolishing the very concept of gender roles.

Another day, another crime - another felony - brazenly committed by a Republican. And she'll probably get away with it, because laws and ethics are for plebes and "libs".

Because right-wingers are EXTREMELY, overwhelmingly, almost unanimously corrupt. They would never punish one of their own, no matter heinous, unethical, or repugnant the crime. They know that if they do not all stick together lock-step no matter what, their illegitimately stolen power will fall apart like used wet toiletpaper.

In other words: you don't know what "left winger" means.

Hint: The U.S. Democratic Party is not left wing.

@ProfThadBach In all honesty though, why would we expect any better when our only major parties are far-right fascists and right-of-center liberals? That's two right-wing parties controlling everything.

Politicians should NEVER be allowed to choose their voters. Ever.

We need to find and enforce a uniform, non-partisan way of defining districts across the entire country. This far too easy a lever to pull for the wantonly, shamelessly corrupt.
