Remember if you are angry and you wanna do something, one really important thing you can do is vote, I’m not talking about 2026. I’m talking about this week, next week, and the week after there are elections every single week multiple times a week that is where it change begins.

11 out of 260 Democrats is 4%. we’re really going to throw out the whole party because of 4%???? I get that you’re angry today and so am I, but I’m angry at 4% not the other 249 (which is only the Dems at federal level. It’s not even 0.1% of all elected Dems.)
