It’s about to get a lot worse now that the Houthis have Bab al-Mandab Strait too.
And it’s not just them, all the Iranian backed militias have been cross training for the last decade.
I’ve been thinking for a while it’s going to get really really bad right before midterms. Iran knows if Dems get control they’ll reign trump in. They’ll 100% manipulate gas prices to influence the election, especially since Trump burnt thru reserves already
I think relatively speaking, it is true. However, the reason we got trump 2 is they didn’t do their job the first time. The reason we got trump 1 is because they didn’t do it of Nixon.
I know it might not be much but I will be sending letters to all my reps after the mid terms to encourage them to go on full offense. I will also be encouraging everyone I know to do the same.
No more compromise, no more working across the aisle. We need to see accountability before we can try to heal fucking anything. The accountability is the medicine.
I hope everyone stops acting negative and starts pushing hard for what’s right. That means all of us in the US write, protest, and make sure those in congress know how people feel.
People on congress will listen if people are angry enough, but if people give up ahead of time with cynicism then we definitely lose.
It’s better to fight and lose than never to fight at all, every time, even if it seems hopeless.

You could take the bank accounts of every one of your reps constituents and it still wouldnt override the buying power one billionaire has over them.
There’s an order of operations to democratic society:
Vote
Urge reps to do stuff
Pitchforks
This fall we do 1, if it fails meaning dems don’t actually win because of fraud then we go to 3. If 1 fails because dems actually lose then this is the will of the country and you try to survive it as best you can.
If 1 passes with dems winning then we go to 2.
If 2 fails we go to 3.
You can’t skip 2, and it is meaningful if a lot of people indicate they will go to 3 if 2 doesn’t work.
Democracy hasn’t failed until you have to get to 3 and everything happening right now is a consequence of 1 going wrong previously so we have to fix it in this order.
Billionaires have blood inside them, there are WAY more of us than them, we just have to make them afraid and the implied threat in 1 and 2 is we end in number 3.
History is full of cases where the people rose up and hung the elites. Elites know this history they just always do their best to try to get the people to fight amongst themselves.
Don’t take the bait, don’t become a cynic, don’t give up because democracy dies in darkness.
I didn’t say that. Just that they don’t fix the damage the republicans do. They’re the ratchet. Republicans fuck everything up. Dems keep things mostly the way they are.
They go around pretending to be progressive and anti neo-liberal and just defends democrats on the genocide and sneaks in wild takes to pull people back into supporting the Democratic party.
And they’re not going to reopen the straits after the election. That’s desperate cope from the market. This is just the new normal. They’re not influencing an election like North Vietnam had to do, Iran is directly bringing the USA to it’s knees. And the democrats will not betray Israel by giving concessions (nukes) to Iran, so Iran has nothing to say to them either.

What world are you living in?

Trump in 2028 “No ‘body’ can run for a third term, but I’ve got a shiny new robot body, arrrrooooo!”
Futurama intensifies.

More cynicism, not helpful.

You think thing would be the same if Republicans didn’t control every aspect of the federal government?
I didn’t say that. Just that they don’t fix the damage the republicans do. They’re the ratchet. Republicans fuck everything up. Dems keep things mostly the way they are.
Non-voters are the ratchet.
Then you’re almost definitely talking about neoliberals, who have controlled the party in a year and a half
Ok.
This is a perfect response to weird politicobabble
