    we see ourselves in the mirror, restoring the status quo means billionaires stay in charge, bombings continue, innocents die

    even when we sweep the house it’s not enough:

    I want to see us get medicare for all, trump and his cronies in guantanamo, the supreme court reformed, gerry mandering removed, age limits, term limits, data center moratoriums, an end to war, no more super pacs, no more citizens united, billionaire wealth tax, house and senate reform, ranked choice voting

    and they end the filibuster to do it

    then if we wanna quit “capitalism” we continue (we should end whatever this is)

    all that said, vote. vote. vote.

      I want this too, trust me. But if we get medicare for all and then lose democracy, will it really be a win? The fascists will just take it away again after long enough in power.
