The reason we might not be able to vote in future elections is because in 2016 people wouldn’t vote for Hillary because they said she was “too corporate” 🤔🤔🤔
Face it,the Democratic party is compromised by corporate interests.
Time to do a deep cleaning and pay attention to who you send to congress.
That is, of course, considering we are even able to vote in elections or even elections that aren't corrupted by the facsist agenda.

Judge blocks HUD homelessness overhaul, rebukes agency for causing 'chaos'
A federal judge said HUD cannot dramatically change its funding policies on homelessness for now. States, cities and nonprofits say the proposed overhaul would push thousands back onto the streets.

Reagan funded and armed death squads, left Americans to die during the AIDS crisis, destroyed the economic tools that built the 20th century, his allies committed treason in 1980 (at the bare minimum, above that Reagan might have been involved) and pioneered "own the libs" politics.
The presidency once served as a reminder of our common humanity. Ronald Reagan described its purpose as building "a nation composed of good and decent people."

New Illustration: "We Beat 'Em Before..."
Taken from a British WW2 poster, the original features a WW1 German soldier at the top. I just swapped it for the Nazi soldier it had at the bottom.

As someone who studies gun violence, all of this tracks. Without red state laxity, blue city crime would be far less bloody.
I have no problem with guns, so long as there are sensible gun laws. This needs to be nationwide. Many guns used in crimes come from red states with lax gun laws. Background checks with a nationwide database and red flag laws are a must. Also, guns like the AR15 shouldn't be owned by civilians.

We need a fundamental realignment of defense spending - away from privatization and divorced of the “always higher than last year” mindset. We should be decreasing military spending 2% every year for the next decade.
We should not have unlimited military spending at a time when people cannot afford medicine, housing, education or childcare, and are not paid living wages.
Yet the NDAA passed 312-112 in the House and 77-20 in the Senate.
139 Democrats voted YES - even Leaders Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries.
