This is the most important vote you will ever cast. We hear that every election, it seems. But this time, it is probably very true.
The dictator has taken control of everything, right down to the World Cup. He owns the Congress. He owns the Supreme Court. The Executive Branch is nothing more than a "gopher" service for him. Who would want to interrupt such a relationship with a vote against the dictator and his cult?
It is not just Republicans that we are running against. We are running against the billionaires. We are running against a propaganda network that would put Goebels to shame. We are running against criminals and their accomplices.
So, yes. This is a very important election sneaking up on us.

Well keep going through the motions but if you havent figured out by now that the owners of the country are never giving up power unless we destroy them utterly, youre living in a dream world. The kind of sacrifice that it would take to wrest power away from these fucks is tremendous, and no one wants to give up their comforts and pay the price. Its too steep.
No one is coming to save us no matter how this election turns out.

(403 posts)That's what made this nightmare possible. It created the road map for successfully stealing a Presidential election, it created the horrible economy that left so many working people behind which dictator Trump exploited to the nth degree and it created the MAGA SCOTUS majority that's now shredding the constitution and taking our fundamental rights away.

The USA has been broken in a drunken brawl. Corrupt M-F'ers are just going through open doorways and cracked storage looking to see what they can loot.
