I'm Stuck In An Endless Loop Between Depression & Anger

I know people want to move on, figure out what went wrong, and fight.

I honestly do not believe I'll ever reach that stage.

I have a friend whose mother passed away exactly 5 years ago. A day doesn't go by where she doesn't tell me how depressed she still is. She will NEVER get over it. Even in 10 years when her mother would have been over 100.

That's basically where I'm at. I won't get past this, and time isn't going to heal these wounds.

We Need To Up Our Game On Catchphrases & Slogans

The ones we have, obviously aren't working. I think they're part of the reason Kamala lost.

We've got the now classic, "Don't Boo, Vote!" Thanks Barack. Perhaps if there's an election, you can revive it in 2028, when next we see you. Didn't work this time, because Kamala received several million fewer votes than Joe did 4 years ago.

Then the first of 2 debuts this year. "We're Not Going Back." Well, at least not for another 72 or so days. Then we're going back at least to January 2021, or perhaps all the way to the 1700's. Not to mention, we already went back 50 years when Roe was overturned a couple of years ago.

However, the best is probably "When We Vote, We Win!" Very catchy, but apparently those on our side are more the "When We Don't Vote, We Lose" types.

The other side has us beat. They've got, "I'll Be A Dictator On Day One." Also, "I Don't Care About You, All I Want Is Your Vote." So much better than our weak Vote = Win one. I think we should go with something like, "Vote For Me, Otherwise I'm Gonna Send A Bunch Of Goons Over To Your House And Kick Your Ass." Kinda long, but I think that would be effective, and is probably good enough to get some repubs to switch over and vote for our side.

The Democratic Party Needs To Go 100% Dark

It obviously won’t happen. There is not enough courage for them to completely withdraw, but it’s the only solution we have for the long term.

Quit with this figuring out what went wrong bullshit. Quit telling me we need to regroup and fight another day. I don’t want to hear that, and I don’t plan to fight a battle that has already been decided. We are not going to see a single policy that is worth supporting. EVERY SINGLE BILL our side proposes will be DOA. Our party’s leaders need to accept that. There is ZERO doubt that is what At Least the next 2 years holds.

The ONLY chance we have to eventually move forward, and is still by no means, guaranteed, is to let the Assholes across the aisle, own everything, lock, stock and barrel.

Don’t waste time showing up to Congress for useless debates. Quit saying we want to help people. The majority of people have spoken, and they don’t want our help. They’re laughing in our faces. The ones who do want it, and voted for us, are screwed either way. Every beneficial policy we put forth will be a losing policy.

Let them have what they want. Let every Senate vote be 53-0. Let every House vote be 225-0. Don’t just let them own the fuckstorm, because it’s coming either way. LET THEM OWN IT!! Have the left side of the House chamber be completely empty for The State Of The Union.

I am done wasting my time or effort on this shithole of a country. The only respect I’ll have for our party, would be if we show the people that THEY OWN EVERYTHING that happens these next 2-4 years. I won’t think any less of our leaders, in fact, I’ll think more.

The game is now rigged. Sometimes you got to know when to hold ‘em and when to fold ‘em. As the computer said at the end of the movie “War Games,” “Strange game, the only way to win, is not to play.”

One Thing We Can All Agree On, Is That We're Fucked

The only thing really up for debate, is How Fucked Are We?

Are we Right Wing Supreme Court opinions for the next 40 years Fucked?

Are we National Abortion Ban in the next 2 years Fucked?

Are we Mass Deportation of 100's of Thousands Fucked?

Are we Recession Fucked or Depression Fucked?

Are we no more fair elections in 2026 Fucked? Or 2028 Fucked?

Are we widespread racial and anti-semitic attacks Fucked, or just random incidents Fucked?

Are we mass outbreaks of diseases by 2026 due to vaccine denial Fucked or by 2028 Fucked?

And finally, are we Irreversable Climate & Global Warming Damage by 2026 or 2028 Fucked?

Start fighting if you must, so you feel you're trying. But there might not be much left to win back by the time they are done Fucking everything up. And then we'll have to spend 4 years perhaps hopelessly trying to fix all that they Fucked up, before getting blamed again, and replaced by their new Fuck Up Du Jour.

Can We Just Drop A Nuclear Bomb On Russia And Get It Over With?

I know the President Biden won’t do that, but I really don’t care anymore whether the world survives. Might as well just wrap it up while we’re still in control of the codes.

The Senate Comes Down To Montana, Nebraska & Harris

And if the Independent wins in Nebraska, he has to caucus with the Democrats, otherwise without Tester, it would be 50-49-1.
