    Coming from someone who has openly yearned for a Trump presidency?

      The blame lies entirely with the party if Trump gets elected. Maybe another 4 years of that lunatic will make them learn. Doubtful.

      Try selling this Biden or bust shit to the Muslim-American community who may not turn out in droves to vote for him. Are you going to insult their collective intelligence and question their integrity if Biden fails to get another term? Democrats just take their votes for granted and don’t think they have to earn them.

      Coming from someone who has been on several weeks of mandatory leave from work because I started self harming in public after listening to yet another fucking horror show coming out of Gaza. I had to be sent home because I was crying and hitting myself.

      How do you live with yourself? I’m genuinely curious, because I can barely do it. I’ve had to stop listening to news in the car or I’ll drive into traffic. I’m voting for Aaron Bushnell because they’re far braver than me. I hope Trump has a heart attack.

        Get a grip, talk to a therapist or trusted friend. It’s OK to not be plugged in 24/7. “If it bleeds it leads” is true and being inundated with horror constantly absolutely wears you down.

          I’m literally mandated to talk to a therapist to keep my job now.

          But I don’t think it’s okay to tune out. I’m complicit. I deserve to suffer for that. People who tune out are rejecting the responsibility they have to their victims to hear their stories and learn their names. I can’t look away, I don’t have that right.

            You have a terrible therapist.

              Children dying under the rubble don’t get therapists. I’m lucky I can talk to someone, but I don’t deserved to feel better. I deserve to suffer.

                  The children dying under the rubble don’t get to take a break when they’re tired of the genocide being enabled by my government and my tax money. I’ll take a break when I’m not longer complicit.

                    By posting on here instead of doing work to alleviate starvation in countries affected by US imperialism, you’re complicit in the deaths of countless children.

                    Until you unlearn the indoctrination by your ‘friends’ who’ve convinced you of the cult of heroism common to fascist and theocratic movements (but I repeat myself), you’re never going to be happy or make a difference in the world.

        Which makes it all the more insane that you’ve openly yearned for a Trump presidency.

        How do you live with yourself? I’m genuinely curious, because I can barely do it. I’ve had to stop listening to news in the car or I’ll drive into traffic. I’m voting for Aaron Bushnell because they’re far braver than me. I hope Trump has a heart attack.

        By doing what I can, and keeping in mind the historical perspective.

        Tomorrow isn’t going to be a fucking utopia. Even an overwhelming, sudden, and ideologically ‘pure’ victory won’t bring a utopia tomorrow. But we fight day by day, and generation by generation, to make a better world.
