Hey guys, stupid question. With the supreme Court going haywire… Is there anything I can do other than vote? What are our options here? How do we change?
If I get cancer, I will eventually die. Hypothetically speaking, I may be looking for afterlife buddies that are worse people than me so I can feel better about myself comparatively
Run for office (mostly too late at this time of year), donate to campaigns or PACs, volunteer at the polls (making sure things are on the up and up), join protests, start boycotts for companies that support fascists, call people in your area to make sure they know about deadlines and locations, volunteer to work for a campaign, or get a job in government (ensure duties are being performed by the law). That’s only the stuff you can legally do.
The answer has always been to vote. This country was founded on good faith and the naive belief that people would work for the common good. Your only recourse is to make sure that people who think that way are in power.
That depends on whether you value your own life more than you value the principles that we were led to believe America was founded on.
The discontent that led to the American Revolution didn’t start overnight, but someone fired the first shot when the British were coming to confiscate the cannon that the colonists had collected.

I’m depressed and frustrated.
Technically, you can go on a killing spree. But that’s not exactly legal. Well, at least for us plebs.

I feel like my life shouldn’t have to revolve around making sure dickheads aren’t going to ruin everything.
A perfect summary of the Human Condition.
That thought is exactly why dickheads have ended up ruining everything.
I feel like we’re beyond defending democracy only when it’s convenient.

I’ve been trying bud :(
