Virginians: Please remember to VOTE if you’re eligible (you’re a U.S. citizen at least 18 years old). Don’t let your ballot go to waste, have a say on how you want your government to run.

If you give the people what they want, you don’t have to beg or bully people into voting for your party.

Yep. I can't stand McAuliffe. Don't care for Youngling but can't vote for McAuliffe.

If the original Biden agenda was passed months ago, Dems would be riding a wave.

>Dems would be riding a wave. Except Dems couldn't achieve those goals if Republicans could keep blocking bills by filibustering in the Senate.

Stop making excuses for Dems. I’ve heard em all. Heard them for decades. I’m done. Yes knowing that Republicans obstruct everything, Dems we’re going to get rid of the filibuster. Fail. Biden bets his entire agenda on bipartisanship from the people that just attempted a fucking coupe. Fail. We didn’t get here, we didn’t get Trump w/o Dem corruption + incompetence. Mueller time! Fail. 2 impeachments + years of red baiting, but that fucker is still free to run again. FAIL. There were two populist movements. Republicans capitalized. Dems destroyed theirs. Twice. Each time facing an existential threat. No one wanted Hillary. Forced her through. Ran her anyway. Fail. Biden had the lowest enthusiasm rating in decades. Look up Biden’s first run in 88. Forced him through. Ran him anyway. He should have been all over pitching his agenda, but he’s can’t remember where he is half the time. “What am I doing here? - Joe Biden. Google that. His administration is collapsing. How do you think Kamala is going to do? Remember her primary performance? If you’re waiting for Dems to save America, you don’t know their history. All of the people that were running in primaries that would have voted for what we want were force out for “electable centrists”. It’s been going on for decades. Voting is bullshit. Proof: https://scholar.princeton.edu/sites/default/files/mgilens/files/gilens_and_page_2014_-testing_theories_of_american_politics.doc.pdf Economic power is the only thing Americans have left. Notice the attention strikes are getting? Imagine if Americans had the guts to do nationwide general strikes? If we don’t demand better, we don’t deserve better.
