@caosorganizzato sto ridendo come un coglione immaginando uno che lava la biancheria nella friggitrice ad aria, ma ho il sospetto che non sia quella la battuta, è un semplice non sequitur?

How do you lose an election, and why is Democracy failing in America?" If it is not progressive, it will be conservative. "
I have been saying this for years because I understand that the voting mentality, wants, and needs of the population have changed. To spell it out: if you're a wishy-washy moderate, you're unelectable — only people who focus on politics instead of people believe otherwise.
The Governor of California, Gavin Newsom, is one of those wishy-washy moderates — or, as I call them, corporate conservative Democrats. This is the man, for example, who wants to add age verification in every OS (operating system), including Linux. That is not the only problem with him, but it is the most recent one I can recall. The point is, he is not a progressive, and he is not going to win reelection.
Many people don't vote anymore. I do, I assume you do, and perhaps many people on the Fediverse do — but many don't. My sister and her husband, for example, don’t. I sometimes question the value of doing so if the end result is the same. Yes, I said the same — and we can argue about the differences, because there are differences — but at the end of the day, we still end up in the same place we don’t want to go. The only difference is whether we get there fast or slow.
MAGA is simply awful — there is no denying that — but they are giving their supporters exactly what they want. Meanwhile, you have a wishy-washy moderate who will work with these people while claiming unity is more important than change or accountability. So ultimately, we go down that same path by different means, and that’s the path we want to avoid.
People argue that we have to block that awful outcome — but block what? We're still going there. These people will compromise with Nazi pedophiles and tell us it is for the good of the country. And so many people no longer feel enthusiastic or motivated to support any of this.
And we know “next time” is a lie that never comes. It’s what they told my grandpa his whole life, and he passed away at 103 years old waiting for that make-believe “next time.” My parents are in their 70s and late 60s, I’m in my 40s, most people's kids are in their 20s, and the next generation to come is being told the same lie. We’ve all caught on by now.
We need someone who truly is one of us and represents the will of the people. The will of the people is both conservative and progressive at this time in history. Conservatives are being told they can have exactly what they want — when they want it, how they want it — and those corporate conservative Democrats, who are not progressive, will give it to them because they claim unity is more important than change and accountability.
If it is not progressive, it will be conservative. I guarantee it.

@existentialcomics
I had that thought.

It feels like now would be a really bad time for the Sea Peoples to make a comeback.
