As Agnostic Front said back in the 1980s: There’s no justice. It’s just us.

There was a point last year where it looked like Trump wasn’t even going to be able to flee this country in time to avoid prison. And now I’m afraid to leave this country because I might not be able to get back in if I do.

Imagine if the country was on the verge of complete collapse and everyone just kept going to work/school etc every day as if nothing had happened?

Oh great! With these tariffs the price of pitchforks is probably gonna double.

The key to the longevity of American democracy has always been a denial of reality.

The same people selling you "abundance" were the ones who tried to convince you the ACA was affordable healthcare.

Democrats acknowledge that we are facing the downfall of democracy in this country and not one elected Democratic official is doing anything that might risk their career to stop it. They care more about maintaining their personal power than they care about you OR democracy

I had a dream that Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party realized that promising to arm and fund a genocide in Gaza with no restrictions was a bad idea, and helped cost them the election, but then I woke up and they were both still blaming the voters instead.

Americans keep waiting for a good guy to emerge to lead them out of the wilderness but everyone in our government is owned by billionaires, corporations and lobbyists for a foreign government (AIPAC) so the most they are ever willing to do is readjust the furniture a little.

Someone remind Ro that Democrats dont want Medicare for All OR a minimum wage increase it they would have fought for it when they were actually in power.

Watching Bernie Sanders start talking about revolution every year is like Groundhogs Day but then he sees his shadow and goes back to licking boots for the Democratic Party.

Sure is an abundance of people trying to sell us Third Way Neoliberalism again.

Democrats: Burn all the Teslas!!!! Only terrible people drive Teslas!!!! Me: AOC drives a Tesla Democrats: Burn all the Teslas except AOC's Tesla!!!!

Everyone I know (2024) “Democrats are useless” Bill Pencil: “Biden is the most progressive president in history and Democrats are passing the most meaningful legislation in ages.” EIK (2025): “Democrats are feckless enablers of the GOP”. Bill Pencil (2025): “what he said”.

Democrats bringing a collection plate to a gun fight.

It's been six weeks since @moderation.bsky.app put this label on my account. I appealed immediately. No response. There is no one running the show here.

The most damning thing I can say about the Democratic Party is that after losing an election they told us would mark the end of democracy in America they just kept doing the same things they were doing before with no change in message or tactics.

I had a dream that Will Stancil kept yelling at me: "Joe Biden was the most progressive president of all time." But then he stopped and started yelling: "Loverboy is the greatest rock and roll band of all time." And suddenly it all made sense.
