Politics

And besides that, the dems, especially on a national level, don't appear to be trying to make things significantly better. I mean they're abandoning student loan forgiveness, aren't doing much to push (and I mean push, not just politely ask the GOP to agree to pass a law saying that maybe we shouldn't treat queer people like shit and then throw their hands up and act like they did everything they could when the genocidal fascists inevitably don't agree to that before going back to fucking shit up). Simply put, it doesn't seem like they're trying to do anywhere near enough to fix all of these messes (including the US' part in climate change for that matter) and have in some cases contributed to union busting efforts and such. And because of the terrible voting system we have here, if I want to vote for a third party or independent politician, I can't because it's effectively the same as throwing my vote in the garbage. There's effectively zero chance a third party or independent can succeed here. Meanwhile we have fascists attempting coups (very few of those involved in J6 have faced any meaningful consequences for it, let alone the politicians at the top who planned it) and trying to commit genocide against trans people (cough DeSantis and his allies cough) who aren't being held accountable for any of it despite the fact that genocide is the sort of shit that's supposed to get you tried and thrown into prison. And of course, now we have tge Supreme Court taking bribes and just making shit up with no accountability for any of it. What are we supposed to do?! ~Strawberry
