The three state killings came just two days after the Democrats’ sweeping victory in the November 3 midterm elections, which constituted a stunning repudiation of Trump’s policies on social inequality, war, the assault on immigrants and attacks on democratic rights. Yet a wide internet search turns up not a single comment from any Democrat on Thursday’s three executions.

    I mean…

    It’s a state issue, and those are all red states…

    Dems have no influence on state elections unless it’s a Dem governor or they have the votes to federally outlaw state executions. Which we will in January.

    But if the author thinks we can discuss everything that’s fucked up about America, they’re fucking stupid.

    We’re in triage mode as a country, and in triage you focus on what helps the most people, because time is of the essence. Not everything can be the priority, and if you try to address everything at once, you never get anything done.

    Start with what helps the most, and keep fixing shit for as long as you can.

    Edit:

    To clarify, think of what the number is of people who died yesterday due to lack of resources like healthcare/food/housing.

    Priorities.
