Waking up to a quiet, clean house every day, with no children.

I will do good where I can with my own two hands.

And will keep investing hard in the stock market. The stock market wins no matter who's in charge.

Agreed. Those fuckers are rich enough to treat workers fairly. Full stop.

And unicorns might fly out of my derriere.

Until people stop voting for capitalists, you're always going to have 100,000,000 people or more who don't vote. Voting does not materially affect their lives in any meaningful way, but missing a day of work does.

Well first we need an overwhelming blue wave so the GOP in its current form collapses.

I don't know where you've been for the last 40 years, but the Democrats are not a progressive party. Look at all of the things that happened when Biden had power that they did nothing meaningful to stop: Roe repeal, cop cities, 2+ trillion for war, child genocide in Israel, rent/grocery/energy bills skyrocketing.

You have to ask me to ignore the daily realities of my life under Joe Biden in order for me to honestly assume Kamala or Trump will do anything meaningful to help people.

He dropped his campaign for the same reason Pete and Elizabeth dropped out and endorsed Joe Biden, who was polling lower than they were.

Favors. (Or as I like to think of them, bribes)

Are you really ignoring that, no matter who we elect, we get conservative politics?

Thank you for the reply and the info. I'll read up on them.

There is no viable candidate

I've seen this phrase thrown around a lot this year, which is funny to me, because the ruling parties spent most of this election season stage managing campaign appearances for men who are obviously cognitively impaired.

That said what matters most is the down ballot.

100%.

Here in Missouri we have an abortion ban and a $15 minimum wage on the ballot, so no matter who you support, your vote makes a huge difference in this election.

At the federal level, none of us have any power, because you get presented with two flavors of the same choice, both of whom have been installed by the 0.01% and will actively work against the interests of the poor and working class; However, in your town, city, and county, you do have tremendous power for change.

What split the leftists was that time when the Democrats used superdelegates to rig the primary against Bernie Sanders. Nothing kills the Democratic vote more than telling democrats their vote is useless in historic fashion, and in fact, he's the last candidate Democrats had that could actually connect with people in a tangible way.
