(12,359 posts)Shame you need to explain how government works but if this is what's needed (on speed dial) to reduce the negative chittering? Then, so be it.
We are a nudge away from losing our democracy and the temper tantrums we hear every damn election are old and incredibly damaging. We can write-off those Dems (fortunately a small minority) who actually believe diving into the abyss is a good thing, some kind of reverse negativity where the electorate becomes so impassioned that a glorious 'rebirth' revolution is at hand. Think Susan Sarandon and her ilk. This sort of bashing Dems fits their distorted mindset. But ultimately it serves the Republican agenda--win at all cost and then implement a clearly anti-democratic form of governance for the foreseeable future.
Stop the complaining, the incessant whinging until after the elections bc sustaining and growing our majorities at all levels is critical.
If Republicans take over? All bets are off. McConnell and various Republican Govs have already expressed their plans for the country if they win the midterms. Think Handmaid's Tale. 2024 will be ever more aggressive with Rick Scott's Plan for America when the middle-class will be permanently crushed and the poor ground into oblivion.
Vote straight ticket Dem in every election. Or be prepared to wave good-bye to our Republic.
