doubt anything will stop the senile old man from doubling down on his faith

last four years have been a Catholic hell where all sperm is sacred and we are back to using coat hangers coupled with genocide, no increasing the minimum wage to a living one or expanding workers' rights, no healthcare expansion but the opposite, not protecting the environment, increased police funding

preserving gaming history preserves culture and history that would otherwise be extinguished

culture and history are needed to preserve human dignities and freedoms

Biden throughout his entire career as a politician has stated that he is Catholic and follows Catholicism to the tee even at work and has made his views on everything else very clear

yet he still got elected as vice president with Obama twice and then voted in once for president

and the Democrats had Walz that teamed up with Trump to stop the oil 3 pipeline protesters as vice for Harris who catered to celebrities and republicans

we are in the current century here, but not all the citizens vote or are allowed to vote and would wager that the results would have looked entirely different if most citizens were to vote/ able to vote

but progressives are not the ones writing Biden and the rest of the politicians' checks so unlikely the Democrats will do anything different in 2028 such as listen to progressives

Harris told the progressives to shut up in the election we just had while she partied hardy with Republicans at celebrity filled galas

ain't shit going to change

both sides are bought and paid for with the same checks

only thing that could be done is to start over

no he did not

he pardoned enough people that other people like you instantly placed him on sainthood status level ignoring the fact it was only a drop in the bucket and that Biden helped craft the laws that got people locked up to begin with

fuck Biden and the horse he rode in too

fuck you Biden who only takes care of his own

Justice delayed is justice denied

The borders between all fifty states are tightening with increased border patrol style policing

Infractions that results in a vehicles being pulled over and the contents tossed that may lead to imprisonmemt include but are not limited to cannabis even though other states allow citizens to ignore federal laws, wrong skin color which includes tans, and now certain medical care trips across state lines are enough to wind up on the list of bagged/tagged citizens that are then used in free prison labor that corporations like McDonald's and the like then exploit

The United States of America has turned into the The United Fifty Countries of America where each state has the power to ignore federal laws at will and state laws trump out everytime and where living wages and healthcare are nowhere to be found and no citizens carry the political power through voting to change anything and overfunded jackboots help keep the oligarchs in power by stomping the boots down on the populace

saying they care and showing they care are very different things

there is US citizens not allowed to vote, and we did not choose this nor deserve it fuck that

has the minimum wage gone up?

did workers get more rights?

when did we get that universal healthcare?

neither the Democrats nor the Republicans support workers

tasted like ashes since the one and only time was allowed to cast a vote and Obama got it

both parties have utterly failed the US and it is past time to face the reality that both parties are bought and paid for

the Democrats defended Roe v. Wade so hard it fell so it is scary what four years of Republican rule will bring

real enemies of progress are as always Democrats

“it should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them.”

US has lead pipes, piss poor education standards with not enough funding, environmental pollution, bought out media that perpetuates toxic culture

Hope dialed his mother, a former physician, who was unequivocal. “You need a D&C,” she told them, referring to dilation and curettage, a common procedure for first-trimester miscarriages and abortions. If a doctor could remove the remaining tissue from her uterus, the bleeding would end.

But when Dr. Andrew Ryan Davis, the obstetrician on duty, finally arrived, he said it was the hospital’s “routine” to give a drug called misoprostol to help the body pass the tissue, Hope recalled. Hope trusted the doctor. Porsha took the pills, according to records, and the bleeding continued.

Three hours later, her heart stopped.

fuck the oligarchs and their bought politicians and the doctors too for having the training/knowledge and refusing to use it

no excuse the doctors could not do what was necessary other than political prosecution and if that is the case the medical professionals should step aside for someone who will stand up even when shit hits the fan

“We’ll be making it clear that in just two years, we can reverse and stop some of the things, some of the tragedies, of the administration-elect,” he continued, “and that their policies will be putting the plague on our communities, as well as poor white communities. It’s going to have an effect on the whole country.”

heard all this before with Obama and really from all the Democrats but at the end of the day just lip service with empty hollow promises and gestures

nothing is changing no matter which party holds majority in congress or the senate or whatever the fuck

prices will still continue to soar while pays continue to stagnate, continue to get sicker from lack of healthcare, police with over backing and funding are still going to stomp the boots down on the citizens, the environment is still going to suffer

no matter what colors or letters are in office we the people lost

elections are only for show brought to you by the oligarchy

“It’s like the people have spoken and this is what America looks like,” said Smith, the Los Angeles-based founder of the advocacy social media agency, Get Social. “And there’s not too much more fighting that you’re going to be able to do without losing your own sanity.”

definitely a real feeling

it is what America has been looking like for far too long
