I never hear people on the right say oh people will never vote for this or that or oh the system is too fucked up it’ll never happen; they see what they want and say ok let’s go make it happen. 1/3

A problem on the left is all the social approval given to cynicism & despair. I understand why people are depressed & angry about the oligarchy, but every time we talk about it like it’s an insurmountable problem we give it power. That’s exactly what they want you to think. 2/3

The gun issue is a perfect example. Like healthcare & climate change it’s an example of corporate power tyrannizing us yes. But negativity about our prospects is not the answer. If enough of us say we’re going to change things and we’re not going to stop until we do, we will. 3/3

Both parties ARE the right, Marianne. Not sure what you're even talking about. Until they open the doors for other parties, I'm done voting at the national level.

They are waaay too much the same, but to say there is no difference is simply inaccurate. Build Back Better, the gun issue are examples. And there ARE third parties you can vote for on the national level!

Spot on, Marianne. Thx for being a constant voice of reason and hope in a sea of abuse, confusion, gaslighting and exploitation from our corrupt elected officials. Would love you to run again - and bring some REAL hope back to everyday people (not the phony Faux-bama kind).

Stop making it about right vs. left. Talk to more ppl. I hear working class people on both sides saying our politicians are a lost cause. This is a huge majority and an independent can rally them around popular issues if they call out the BS in government.

There comes a breaking point where silence is no longer an option. This is that moment.

You should expand your friend group. Plenty of this on the right too.
