I read Zei the Squirrel talking about putting forth a progressive and being mad as usual and I just think "where is all the energy coming from?" the USA is a lost cause, getting another Bernie would take decades and that still wouldn't be enough, there's no mechanism to shift the powers in the US towards leftist politics so how can she still get so mad? All I got is apathy for who will run the evil empire.

Newsflash: it's gonna stay evil.

I resonate with this, but also remember the new generation is coming up. There are a lot of us who’ve seen the world outside mainstream America. Folks like me — young immigrants from the third world — are making up a larger portion of the US population, as are people of color and LGBTQ+ folks. There’s a profound generation gap on a lot of issues that’s going to hit American politics like a sledgehammer, because neither liberals nor fascists have the answers to our problems and folks are noticing

The GOP is better-equipped than the Dems to stifle and suppress the coming wave. Do what you can to keep Dems just barely in power, and wait for the wave to wash them all out. 2040 is the goal
