    Politics just feels like a “bad guy of the week” show. Republicans keep running worse and worse candidates while democrats keep saying that we must get rid of this latest bad guy at all costs while pushing for some vague “center” which is very concerning when the other side is composed of outright fascists. When can we actually push for progress instead of just keeping our heads above a water level that keep rising? There’s an endless supply of fascists in the republican party and, as if that wasn’t bad enough, there’s also an endless supply of liebermans, manchins, and sinemas on the democrat side.

      sometimes it looks like it is almost intentional to have a complete shoe-in.

      i dislike the ‘biden is a puppet!!’ memes because that feels cheap and as if i support the right but literally all candidates are a puppet and now it seems they have a method to decide most elections

        If it is a conspiracy that strategy can’t work forever, eventually republican voters will give up if their party stays too small of a minority for too long, then we can have contests between actually candidates again.
