    Sorry to break this to you, but we’re down in the fucking deep end now. We’re getting another monster because everyone has been like this forever. If not that monster, than another one. The system, if there still is one in a few years, is not going to flex where you want it. All of this is a consequence.

    I have been saying for decades that if we keep pushing the needle towards social progress we will get there eventually, but liberals don’t want it pushed further, and leftists don’t want to be patient and plant trees they won’t sit in the shade of, etc, and didn’t want to keep up constant, consistent pressure, they want the perfect socialist Jesus to come turn the US into a perfect, racism-free country overnight… OR NOTHING.

    Enjoy your nothing people.

      A lot of folks still believe someone is coming to save them. It’s fascinating. But it’s why we’re so badly fucked, yeah.

      This… so much this…

      This is why I proudly left my local chapter of the Socialist Party of the USA.

      Always aiming too high and never chasing the realistic goals I kept pointing out.

      Leader of said chapter actually condemned Bernie Sanders for “refusing to encourage violence against the police” as if that was even slightly realistic to expect.

      Fuck him.
