@Tengrain@mastodon.socialThis whole kerfuffle over the #shutdown / #CR drama reminds me that #elections matter, and if the #Puritopians had just eff’ing voted we would not be here, with the collapse of democracy all around us, shouting into the void.
@Tengrain Same as it ever was.
As a reminder, people who sit out elections aren’t “the base” of a political party.
@Tengrain We warned them.
@Tengrain @TonyStark two qualified brilliant women tried to warn them. But, you know, they were women so the assholes wouldn’t vote for them.
Misogyny has murdered democracy.
@msmp Well, that plus 40 years of Republican messaging that Democrats are baby-killing communists.
