Tired Of Election Politics. So Many Assholes & Pricks Continue To Get Elected.

Every election cycle so many good candidates lose and so many absolute pricks and scoundrels get elected and reelected. Sure we win a number but we never seem to win enough to truly change directions and truly allow us to move massively forwards. It always seems the we either mire along or in important cases lose ground.

I hope we are waking up and November will see a lot of Democrats elected. I am still amazed and disappointed by so much massive ignorance and stupidity.

We need massive changed in direction and not incremental change right now. So much is now moving the wrong way with Trump. And the GOP is so evil and dangerous.

Everytime a democratic President has the country going in essentially the right direction and progress is picking up steam and becoming more entrenched, they rear their stupid fucking heads and cost us continuity elections (68, 80, 00, 04, 16). We need to cultivate left leaning non voters and tell the purist where they can stick their heads.

Gerrymandering, voter suppression, right wing media, a system heavily slanted toward small states and rural areas...there are many obstacles in our way. We've got to raise hell about each and every one of them. It's a struggle, and we have to keep struggling.
