OK democratic leadership, you win; I'll quit voting for your party.

I said the same shit to my senators and Schumer https://www.schumer.senate.gov/contact/message-chuck. If they don't vote no, I won't vote Dem ever again. Tired of it.

May not matter at the rate we're going.

Way i look at it if does then the threat was overblown and they're undeserving anyways.

Just quitting voting isn’t enough, join a local political group. Worst case scenario, they get radical and you’re too into it so you end up on the news. Best case scenario, they get radical and you’re not into it so you go home and plan your meals for the week.

Canceling plans makes me turgid. My first kid was the result of our yoga instructor falling out of their window on New Year’s Eve

How did she anger Putin?

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Uh, what? Brand new sentence. Also, you fucked your yoga instructor, or...?

[–] meyotch@slrpnk.net 2 points 20 hours ago

I think I have seen this one

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee -2 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

And vote Republican instead? Yeah, that'll show'em.

As we all know there's nothing else to vote for. Please don't look below the first two options on your ballot or voter registration! Or look at the history of political parties in the US!

your braindead take is exactly how you got into this mess
