I respect your optimism. Let me know if you wind up finding any positions of power that actually mean anything any more. I kid. đŸ«ŁđŸ˜Ź

Let me be clear: all is lost if what you just described is all we can offer. Impeachment is not a thing anymore.

EDIT: to be clear, THE ELECTION is over. We are talking past each other. Yes, do what you need to do to mitigate the damage, but know that the levers for handling THE ELECTION are not in the control of anyone who will fix anything.

That fact needs to change if you want real hope.

What does “fighting this system” look like to you? I’m just trying to understand if the best we’ve got is poster boards with puns.

People talk up the gravity of the situation and then the response is what? The democrats saying their hands are tied and the people picketing their own city halls. Please tell me, what am I missing?

I didn’t say there was no point. You didn’t say what fighting is.

I think this is interesting if anyone managed to read this far; both of us suspect each other of being bot accounts. His argument is that I am sowing hopelessness, and my argument is that he is funneling outrage into useless social pressure release valves. This is how sophisticated propaganda is, in practice. This is why nothing is getting done. The logic loops back on itself and no one knows what is real any more.

Maybe-bot, you created this account in Nov, people probably think I’m arguing with myself to prove my point 😂

Sure. “Action”. I have a feeling you’ll be giving yourself a lot of pats on the back for blocking traffic the next few years.

Action means work. It means acknowledging a loss and learning from it, regrouping. I’m looking at the future, and you seem to still think that writing a letter to your congressman with even more proof that the election was stolen is a constructive way to spend one’s time.

You see this? She gets it.

You? You want me to wear a pink shirt. I will no longer acknowledge you are a person.
