The Trump DOJ keeps violating the law & keeps losing in the courts. So now they’re filing judicial misconduct complaints against judges they don’t like, even Trump appointees. I call out Todd Blanche for his rank hypocrisy as he runs around the country in partisan events. youtu.be/nZ_nR2s-ReU?...

Think of our elections as a zero sum game. You can vote for the opposition party, or you can help the fascists by not voting. If you’d like to change the two party system, you have to vote for the opposition party, then push them left. Not voting helps the fascists. Not voting makes you complicit.
