(5,764 posts)But put yourself 20 or 30 or 40 years in the future looking back. Which would be harder to take? Remembering that dark period of President Trump way back when? Or looking at both major political parties in the United States being hopelessly right and corrupted by corporatism and voters having no viable options for representative government that actually gives a shit about them over the desires of their corporate sponsors because you couldn't stop supporting the "less bad" party no matter how much it kept marching in the wrong direction?
I can't do anything about the GOP. I can do something, however little and insignificant, about the fucking Democrats. By walking away and not being quiet about it if they don't put up the viable progressive in the mother of all anti-establishment election years.
If not now... never. You know it's true.
