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.

So… It would be wise for you to get out of the primary. You have no chance to win. Back @JoeBiden - he’s the only person standing between democracy and authoritarian rule.

So true. If we don’t vote third party, we will continue our trek to authoritarianism. We will give up our freedom. We will acknowledge that we don’t care. Voting for either party is the wrong decision.

You support the oppression and murder of Gazans, including children, by your support of Israel and a 2 state solution

This kind of authoritarianism?
Covid is still a threat, and there are many long covid sufferers. We should reinstate mask mandates in healthcare settings; ensure free high quality masks and PCR tests; and mandate effective air filtration for all public transportation, buildings, and businesses.

Marianne, you and the Democratic party ARE the dystopian authoritarianism.

It is challenging to speak truth when it raises hate - but here I recall Thich Nhat Hahn: when the present moment is unbearable, become sweeter. What you want is reconciliation.
