It is a JOY and a DELIGHT to watch Bernie Sander's voice carry more and more weight as his protégés keep winning with his message of Medicare for All and justice for the working poor (formally known as the working CLASS!) I am smiling with hope for the first time since November 2024!

Seriously, I am a political junkie against my will and used to watch C-SPAN like a freak back in the day... and it is FINALLY happening. The tide is actually turning, I actually thought we would all go gently into that good night of Fascism, but we are becoming truly woke at a rapid pace. This is what WOKE means, and always has: We have awoken to the fact that our government has been bought and paid for by the highest bidder for quite some time and we need to take care of each other as HUMANS. This is a message Bernie has been trying to deliver for 50 years. I hope you are sleeping better at night, Senator Sanders. The good fight is never over, but DAYUM, you're gaining ground!

Don't ya hate it when you work as a nurse for 35 years and one day have the sudden and painful realization that you most definitely should have been a political pundit or a journalist?

Seriously, it's what I wanted to do. My grandfather was the editor of a newspaper. But there was no present day market, even back then, and no guaranteed income. A boy told me he'd get me a job where he worked when I turned down a date because I was sad I had lost my job that day. That's how I ended up at a Nursing Home run by nuns and then the Mr. Rogers/science geek in me got me interested in helping people and medicine and off I went to Nursing School.

I am, however, addicted to politics AGAINST MY WILL and I looked at the clock all day yesterday like a freak because the El-Sayed election in Michigan was so important. I am also trying to become enlightened and dissolving the ego and not investing in this 3D world is REALLY tough when you willingly used to watch C-SPAN for some inexplicable fucking reason. Yeah, I am in the crisis of what could have been, and that blows so hard. I have ALWAYS lived my whole life so that I WOULD have more regrets than what-ifs. Sigh, I know an unnatural amount about politics and what is happening at every moment and I now realize that reddit is what scratches that itch. I can at least opine and engage and feel like I influenced the conversation towards helping others. I guess I needed to write this to realize that. I will forever be on Aaron Schwartz's reddit, fighting the good fight.

The "Democrats" can no longer be a blanket statement. We all know who is beholden to foreign money and corporations and who is not. We all now know who represents us and who does not. Media: Don't lump them together, the party is truly SPLIT now and you need to acknowledge it.

Seriously, we know the fucking difference between the sold out and the representative of the working poor (which we ALL are) and want delineating headline news with names.

The color of a person's skin is NOT a reflection of their character, as in the cases of James Talarico and John Ossoff. Wouldn't it be ironic if these two white men ran together and became POTUS and VP and brought about a new, loving world order? Just watch a speech or two...

It may be the only way that white men can redeem themselves and be included in the new world after all. They both are enlightened and may be just the Trojan Horse we need.

It would be the perfect FU to white supremacists (pedo morons.)

Well, Beshear has blown his entire political future by not acting on the Mitch McConnell situation, what a shame.

This mother fucker is in the NATIONAL SPOTLIGHT and shit the bed, shaking my head. This is why Corporate Dems will all get voted out.

I have been on Reddit just about every day for 17 years and have been disappointed in a lot of the discourse since 2015. But I am VERY ENCOURAGED that the haters are starting get downvoted into oblivion recently and Fascism is being rejected on the whole in most of the political subreddits.

Users are catching on to looking at profiles before engaging with bad faith actor accounts. Accounts that are brand new and those that don't show their comment history are just being cut out of the discussions. I first came to reddit because it seemed like an outlet for smart people. It seems to be going in that direction again. NO ONE is buying the bullshit anymore as they struggle to survive while watching a Fascist regime waste or steal every one of our tax dollars they can. Let's cut them ALL out of the discussions and take back this site.

Ken Paxton frees pedos. Adam Hoffman, who raped a 3rd grade boy for 3 years, got off with a misdemeanor, no jail time, and a clean record as a gift from his buddy Ken Paxton. Talarico will WIPE THE FLOOR with this sick pedo!

I punked out and deleted my ancient account because I was convinced they were turning our info over to DHS. I now regret that I lost that powerful voice because, now, after Orban, I have a little hope about defeating these fascists at the ballot box. I know that's wrong, right? Talk me down...

Seriously, my original account would have been 17 years old this year, but I had a vivid nightmare that ICE came for me and murdered me in front of the Rec Center on the sidewalk and the next day the story broke about DHS wanting Reddit user data. I whimped out and deleted in a panic and am now having misgivings like we can vote our way out of this...we can't, right?

Looking at all of the evidence over the last 30 years, I do believe the Human Race are victims of "Temporal Abuse." I am coining this term, and you're welcome.

Seriously I think Homo Sapiens from other timelines and temporal signatures are fucking with us to manipulate their present. I'll be be having coffee with my daughter and my dog, discuss. (Bonus if you're an old fuck who gets this reference.)

OK, get ready. We are about to hear a lot about "Centrist" Democrats, don't fall for it. I am tired of this high jacking of our language. Make no mistake, these are fascist sympathizers. They are anything BUT Centrist.

The "Centrists" are poised to fight Progressives tooth and nail to maintain control of the controlled opposition party because their owner-sponsor corporations/foreign governments told/threatened them to. Everyone is so through with this shit. No one is voting for these corporate tools.

"Why Pennsylvania Holds America Together." (Documentary) Pennsylvania geography explains why the Keystone State became America’s trade, energy, steel, and logistics powerhouse.

This was pretty cool.

Please join me in time traveling to 1960. I apparently shared this build years before I was even conceived.

Weird enough that I had to Alt Tab and share...LOL

Anyone else think that any extra-terrestial or interdimensional species that bother to make deals with the 3D realm fascist pdfs must be bottom feeders of their own societies?

I mean really, if we can even imagine a more benevolent first contact scenario than they are capable of providing, we are already more connected to the source.

Gas prices just interfered with Mothers seeing their families today, and now the MAGAs are pissed. The polls showing 30% support for this corrupt regime are bullshit.
