Using violence to influence politics is called terrorism, isn't it?

This will be your town next month and for the rest of your life. The midterms won’t save you. Act.

The midterms won’t save you.

Worth trying before grabbing a gun and likely dying.

We aren't at the tipping point quite yet. Voting is still a valid avenue. The trick is you have to keep voting smart for more than one election for the effects to compound and be really noticeable. Can't let Republican traitors and Russian bot farms or events happening on the opposite side of the planet drive a stupid wedge between liberal voters like 2024.

How many more midterms are you going to say that before it’s too late and you’re left asking yourself why no one warned you?
