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.

You are right. Society as we know it is at a tipping point. We had better be diligent in protecting our democracy

When you say radically better, you mean radically better for white people. Don't anyone say reparations...$10K over 20 years isn't reparations.

The two choices are really authoritarianism and dystopia or revolution.

You not supporting a US proxy war in Ukraine that could result in nuclear annihilation for the planet might be a good start...

And the fact that you believe this is the case but still don’t see covid for what it was/is blows my mind.

When voters disagree as strongly as they do now on even the most fundamental matters like democracy, the US Constitution, the law, let alone the ethics of economic power and other matters, I just don't understand rejecting incremental improvement until broader consensus possible.

The medical establishment is already getting away with murder and no one currently in power is doing anything about it. Our govt has been bought and payed for

Biden is doing a whole lot more than tweaking. Minimizing Biden's accomplishments and aspirations just don't do it for me.

It's just as stable as any other moment. Folks trying to ratchet up the "unstable democracy" crap are frauds. You have two parties, both are authoritarian, always have been, nothing new under the sun. You are choosing to support one authoritarian party, making you their ally.
