    It’s been four years and nobody stepped up.

    Nobody said they wanted to be the successor. They didn’t build a campaign and start doing press tours.

    We have No Labels and Brain Worms. That’s it. The progressives did not try to field a candidate, and now you’re saying there’s a boot on your neck.

    Either fight or keep complaining. Bitching online is not progressive.

    I’m trying to wake some of you up to the reality that we need to be united and getting a shitload of ‘Meh, whatever.’

    Extremely hard to believe thats your progressive take.

    You do not get to insist that everything be the way you want it to be.

    Grow up and use the power you actually have rather than spamming your discontent everywhere.

    Work for what you want to happen. Or just roll over and invite the fascists in. Those are your two choices, and you’re saying the first one isn’t a choice.

    That says A WHOLE LOT about you.

    A Trump administration will jail opponents, accelerate oil and gas drilling, and help to destroy the world that much faster.

    We don’t have any chance to improve things if they win one more time.

    Want a better world? It might be possible to still build one. You can’t look at Joe Biden and say “Eh, not good enough.”

    If his plans aren’t enough for your tastes, organize and do better. Inspire others around you.

    It’s not gonna be easy, and it might not even be possible. But each person who just gives up makes it that much harder for everyone else.

    Me, I’m 50. I don’t have a ton of hope. But I’d like to still have a chance to leave a world to another generation that isn’t completely overrun by fascism.

    Brazil pushed back. So did France and the UK. We CANNOT just give up.
