We’re living in a very unstable moment; things are going to break one way or the other. They’re either going to break in the direction of greater justice of democracy, or they will break in the direction of authoritarianism and dystopia. Voting for a normalcy that no longer exists, trying to keep the lid on it in the face of all the rumbling underneath the surface, pretending things are basically okay & we just need to keep tweaking things - all of that will only serve to tip us further in the wrong direction. We will either try to make things radically better, or they are going to get radically worse.

We're a Republic, cupcake. We said it every morning in grade school. "And to the Republic, for which is stands".

You are a warmonger who still supports the vile hypocrite Al Gore so they will go nowhere with you.

Wow, I didn't know you are so insighful. Such binary logic is super intelligent. 🫠

But you're exactly suggesting a continuation of the political economic system that has brought us to this point i.e. capitalism. You speak of reform. In this tweet, when you speak of "the wrong direction", you're talking about yourself.

That's all well and good, but you must have the courage to not just fold back into the Democrat party when the going gets rough.

Democracy IS authoritarianism. When you allow the opinion of the many to dictate to the few it is no less evil than having the opinion of the one dictate to the many, Defend liberty against democracy.

This is exactly how you end up in the dystopia you described.
