Then we'll cross that bridge when it happens. Until then, we must assume they're a go. Do not submit to apathy or defeatism.
Lots of trolls on here want exactly that.
We crossed that bridge back in November 2024. Democracy is already dead. You have hope and that's great, but it's like having hope that you'll get a touchdown and win after the game is already over and fans went home.
No, bridge was not quite crossed; people were ignorant. That's a different story than rigged.
Fantasizing, fetischizing, about Viva la Revolucion isn't going to cut it either.
The latter is why I feel so hopeless, I guess. I feel like this site and reddit both are just loud angry people with their fists in the air. I appreciate the emotion, but nothing we do here or elsewhere seems to matter. I haven't "given up", because I'm still going to vote and hold my opinions, but I can't do anything that will change these happenings. I still take care of my immediate community as best I can. I just have to go live my life off the internet and hope it all works out.
I appreciate the clarification and this helped me better understand your position. As one Strat player to another, I can relate. I have family to care for and all I do every day is think about the most viable ways I can contribute to the cause in improving my children's future.
Stay real, brother.
I’ll say it again.
Fuck all the way off with your defeatism.
Grow up.
Grow a spine.
