    “Imagine if federal worker unions and Democratic Party officials showed up at the plant gate of a company that was about to close its doors," said one labor advocate recently. “Why aren’t the Democrats doing this?”

    Because that’s not what controlled opposition does. You’ll drive yourselves mad trying to figure out why the Democrats actions don’t seem to ever accomplish their stated goals. (You’re already mad if you can’t figure out why the same is true for Republicans.)

      No society will ever provide you the means of overthrowing it. We let the MAGAts take over, and now we’re stuck. Only a movement outside the government will be capable of fixing society.

    4100+ is a good start, they voted for it after all. With any luck automation will follow.

        That’s the plan they voted for. They deserve what they get.

            Hypothetically what if the actual counties and states in question didn’t elect governors, senators, and a president that was Republican, because in reality they did? Hypothetically? What if?
