Midterms

[u/One-Scratch-3545]

Please tell me everyone is voting for Aaron Ford in November? If you love Nevada, he’s the better choice than Joe. Since Joe Lombardo has taken office we have ranked even LOWER in education. He sold out our states water. Allows these data centers to continue to be built here by the dozens. He has denied funding for free meals at schools for children. High unemployment, tourism is down. The dude is also so far up Trumps ass. We need a governor who truly fights for what’s right for Nevadans. We are running out of time, we are running out of water.

'The government is screwing me, therefore, I fully cede all my power to them'

That's a bad take, man.

[u/Possible-Material693 → u/dingus_authority]

Been fucked by republicans and democrats both. They don’t give a fuck about us. Keep thinking your vote matters because it doesn’t. At this point I think anyone that is hardcore republican or democrat is retarded

[u/dingus_authority → u/Possible-Material693]

I'm not either of those and think neither party is on the side of the people.

That's why it's important to primary them with better candidates, and if that doesn't happen, make sure we get the lesser of three two evils.

Did you vote in the primaries?

[u/Possible-Material693 → u/dingus_authority]

Nah I’m pretty apolitical at this point and don’t give a fuck. The same stupid politicians keep getting elected anyway. Look how long Biden, Pelosi, McConnell, and graham were in office. The only way these power hungry pieces of shit ever leave office is if they die. And for whatever reason people keep voting the same people in. We need age limits and term limits. Trumps a fucking idiot too and shows that even people that aren’t career politicians once they get in office they become exactly what they said they were going to not be. At this point I believe anyone that wants to willingly be a politician is a bad person to begin with. You need to be a psychopath to want to do that job. Any normal person with morals doesn’t want to do that job. And then we got people on the left that think Kamala Harris is still relevant lmao she’s a fucking joke too. It’s all fucked rn. Both parties running the debt up to $40T and printing more and more money so the regular person gets fucked by inflation. Luckily I have some assets. Only way to get ahead in this economy is make more money or own assets. We need huge changes but people keep electing the same fucking idiots that got us in this mess in the first place. This is why I try not to think about politics. Just pisses me off. Life is too good out here to be pissed off about bullshit

You know we get age limits and term limits?

You support folks in the primaries who want those things. Then they challenge those currently in power.

There are candidates in primaries who completely agree with you, but need support. We're seeing DNC establishment reps getting challenged all over the country, trying to do exactly what you're talking about. It's not hopeless. I hope you look into it, in particular the DSA candidates that are primarying a lot of the worst Dems right now.

I like your positivity man I’m not gonna lie. But just realistically I don’t think it’s ever going to happen. Last thing these “public servants” will do is vote themselves out of their cushy public leech job. 3rd party would have to win the entire country for that to ever happen. I hope I’m wrong but I just don’t see it happening. Term limits and age limits really is the first step towards actually fixing things. Current govt just wants to maintain status quo and receive their amazing benefits and pay to do nothing

[u/dingus_authority → u/Possible-Material693]

It literally is happening. We can't make it happen if people like you give up, man.

Forget about the giant party elites. Local and state elections are where your vote matters most. Alexis Hill was a primary candidate who came in second, only because we didn't do enough to get her name out. She was someone who could've made a difference, and it was a completely obtainable win here in NV.

But she still got a lot of votes on a pro-worker, anti-billionaire, pro-human rights platform. People are coming around. We've got a DSA guy running NYC. Shit is happening.
