Yes. The older I get, the more I believe it is actually a Men in Black kind of situation.

I know that in America, currently, "peaceful protester" is an officially classified terrorist group. That was what Occupy Wallstreet resulted in.
I have no idea what Blue MAGA is even suggesting when they say "get more involved in government outside of election season". The concept doesn't exist.
I definitely still vote on measures.
When my choices are vote for Genocide and continued severe loss of privacy of freedom A or Genocide and continued severe loss of privacy of freedom B, all I can figure is vote disenfranchised. Won't check the damn box.
Primary results where people did that have already gotten Biden change his half hour chit chat with Bibi from "your US taxpayer dollars are on the way. The weapons you are buying with those dollars are on the way" to "your US taxpayer dollars are on the way. The weapons you are buying with those dollars are on the way, try to go easier on the civilians in Gaza."
If Biden suffers a shameful and embarrassing defeat, maybe the next Democrat will figure out the correct answer is "fuck you Bibi, you genocidal maniac. Israel is cut off, that money will now be invested into fixing the healthcare crisis in America, our military is moving humanitarian aid into Gaza, and if your genocidal asshats so much as point a gun in the general direction of our soldiers and the starving citizens of Gaza, you will enjoy our crosshairs."
Because light moves in waves, not lines.
Not to mention all of the slave labor from all of their incarcerated immigrants, and I'm sure the US will get a tax write off or something when they finally seceded.
Republicans are corrupted spoiled fucks.
Democrats are corrupted spoiled fucks.
How do you think "massively increased involvement" will occur if we keep throwing our votes at these massively corrupt spoiled fucks?
Peaceful abstaining. Quiet sit in. America on strike.
That is the only possible way we have to cause the change we needed at least 50 years ago.

With each passing day, Biden's administration looks like the Bush administration's bigger more right wing brother.
Citizens United needs to be overturned. The Pentagon budget needs to be at least halved. We need the 2 party system to end.
This will never happen if we keep voting for the lesser evil every 4 years.
$773 billion dollars last year spent on fighting "proxy" wars around the world (and if you count the spying, domestically).
The only one that America has actual moral footing to get behind is the only one we are pulling punches on.
Biden is doing what Bush did when he invaded Iraq
Biden is a neocon.
None that matter.
Except maybe Sees. Not a big fan of the company but I've had some great chocolate assortments from them.
You've always had the iconic Whitman's sampler, haven't you?
Which leads to the question, and its an honest question and I would benefit from the honest answer: If I can do the job hybrid, why can I not do the job remote? Is it because you needed me to move some paper boxes to the printer?
