    No, we aren’t. We’re hoping. Which, much as you might dislike it, is a huge reason why we fight.

      i’m sorry but it sounds like you are coping. you know this won’t happen.

      are you seriously exchanging a few empty promises from a politician for what will be covert fascism again?

      i might have put the word “harris” on my filterlist. why is this “news”

        You’re expecting things to never change, or if they do it’ll be for the worst. I can’t blame you for that. Thing is, there has already been change for the better. This is why we are still here and still fighting. Why we still have hope. If all those just like you joined us, imagine what we could do. All you’d have to do is expend some effort - the very same energy being used to express hate, dislike, and skepticism.

        I am sorry you feel this way. It must really not feel great.

        You know as well as we do that only one of two possible people will be elected, and that even if one party in power might have a measly 10% chance of having billionaires pay even half of their fair share, the other party being in charge has a -500% chance of doing so.

        It’s an unnecessary dichotomy, but it is not a false one. At least one of the choices is willing to say it needs to be done, even if they are still by definition a politician who can’t really be trusted (and who won’t have the power to unilaterally make shit happen).
