    This commenter is a bad actor. Don’t trust people who insist you must ‘work through the system.’

      “The only solution is legislative” in a legislature that’s captured by capital and a reactionary fascist movement.

      We are once again politely petitioning Mr. Netanyahu to stop obliterating Palestinians and Mr. Putin to GTFO of Ukraine.

        Palestine is still getting obliterated, arguably will be oblitterated more than ever before with war spreading to Jordan and possibly Iran, and with Ukraine we were doing more than just asking. We sent intercontinental balistics strongly worded letters.

        Citizens United and Campaign Finance are strongly partisan issues. DNC passed HR1 For the People Act multiple times only for Republicans to filibuster it. Hell, DNC passed the 1995 and 2002 law that Citizens United fought in court in the first place.

          Democrats keep insisting they need 60 votes in the Senate to do anything, while Republicans continue to get by just fine on a simple majority.

            If Republicans had 60 votes you’d be living in an evangelical theocracy without any public healthcare or environmental protections. This isn’t the bottom, mate. There is still a long way down.

              Yes. Simply imagine what that would be like, I say from the bleeding heart of Texas.
