      agree. we will have to actively repair gerrymandering and voter disenfranchisement and supression on our local levels if we want change via voting.

      not sure we’ll get that without some Direct Action™

      even then, with the going rate of an hour of work being such shit, mostly only cash-addicts end up running for office… Hard to keep it fair and honest when almost everyone is threatened with hunger, homelessness, and super mean imprisonment if they can’t maintain the finicky contractual approval of a land-owner.

      We have this year to fix it, hopefully, if enough people do whatever they can, or at least stop mainlining the red fascist or blue enabler koolaid.

      think globally, act locally, etc.

      No, unfortunately Trump is destroying major parts of how America works. But take action, believe in the cause. Patience will be a must, to restore america after all of this. If you allow yourself to feel defeated, the “flooding of the zone” has won. The other side, whatever you choose to call them, has won long time ago.
