    Yeah.

    There is always that cycle that includes “Democrats didn’t do everything they promised so they deserve to suffer”, which brings in Republicans that cause far more damage.

    And given the number of election cycles, you would think there would be some organization by now for overall leftist causes, but there isn’t. There is no party or organization out there that can pose an electoral threat. The right produced the TEA party, which morphed to MAGA. Leftists have nothing.

        2008 is what ultimately radicalized me. I volunteered for Obama, put in so much footwork, and really believed he would seek to make change. Looking back now, what a fool I was.

          The hope and change trick worked twice with Obama 1 and trump 1…

          Now it feels like a tired trope to get a “safe” regimeremoved into the white house
