    I’ve voted blue for decades, just so I can say I did the right thing: harm reduction.

    This nation’s last, last, last chance to improve its course would have been to soundly reject the supply side, trickle down Reaganomics grift, but when they lied that YOU could be one of the rich ones one day, Americans giggled like schoolgirls and the former party of labor went full neoliberal to take the larger corporate bribes unions just couldn’t match. That is when any hope for the US to become the benevolent nation it never was but claimed to want to be died.

    Citizens United was just a victory lap for the capitalists to piss on its decomposing corpse.

    Anyone who wants to claim this country was over a couple of Tuesdays ago, hasn’t been paying attention.

    And it wasn’t the Neonazi scum that killed it either, they just see opportunity in the cultural vacuum and chaos. Twas unchecked capitalist greed that killed the beast.
