    The only thing conservative dems like Schumer and Jeffries understand is fear and violence. Without fear and violence (both), conservative dems will hand us right back to the fascists.

    We are not done. Our party is run by conservatives who need to be aggressively removed. They will refuse to leave. They must fear for their lives in order to leave. And we must not be bluffing or they will call our bluff.

    There is no peaceful way out of fascism. We must be willing to get our hands dirty to achieve freedom from conservative fascism.

        Conservatives build concentration camps and brutally murder innocent people here and around the world while celebrating and bragging about it. Schumer and Jeffries are complicit. They are paid by the same oligarchs and play kindly with the other fascists. They cave on “negotiations” and deal politely with the murderers. They will never hold their GOP buddies accountable. AIPAC doesn’t like infighting.

        Conservatives are traitors and fascists. They will never, ever change. Never. They are still here among us. And if we don’t very aggressively expell them all from government (including the neoliberal conservatives), they will send us back into fascism.

        We need to treat them as the threat they are. We need to be willing to use the tools that are historically proven to work.

    Careful, if Dems have a majority and they do nothing significant with it, you’ll have 2025 all over again.

    This happened in France during François Hollande’s term. The French people were fed up with Sarkozy’s outraging reign, so we voted massively “left”, only to discover that the French socialist party was applying… right-wing politics and economics (signing the entire party’s death warrant), leading us to 10 years of neo-liberal/fascist Macron, who claimed to be a centrist (the equivalent of your Dems), capitalizing on both right and left voters’ disappointment.

    Pressurize your elected representative. Don’t let them slip, or terrorize them into leftism. They’re your elected representatives. They’re your bitches. Treason to the People must be met with retribution.

      Yep, this needs to happen. With the establishment today saying “we weren’t elected to hold them accountable, but to fix the economy” (which the economy almost only ever means stock values to them, not how the average person is doing), they need to be pushed to actually do something. This clearly didn’t happen in order for them to preserve the status quo, and they know that. Hopefully it’s the dying breath of the corporate-owned Democrats.

      Yeah write you reps today. Call them tomorrow. Let them know what you expect from them. Let them know the campaign is over but the fight has just started.

      Also tell them fuck no on Jeffries as Speaker.

    I’ve always wondered why there’s a hard cutoff right down the middle of the country when it comes to population density. I understand the reasons why the eastern half is more densely-populated but not the sharp, rapid dropoff. At first I blamed mountains, but from what I can see on a topographical map, the population cutoff does not align with the highlands in the area…
