          Someone doesn’t know their history.

          The nazi party was started in 1919. And they lasted until 1945. Which is a total of… 26 years!

          And that was with the special situation they had where Germany got blamed for all after ww1 essentially giving them way more power quicker.

          But then when they failed on a global scale, the idealogy didn’t die, as we can tell from the actual nazis still parading around today. And while they were scheming in the background they took note on what not to do again. Everything else has advanced and gotten smarter, why would you think the evil side hasn’t done the same thing?

            I was counting from the time Hitler took office in 1933.

            But you can miss me with this Sisyphean struggle shit. I want to enjoy life and not spend it being frustrated, defeated, and harassed.

            I like problems that can be solved. Which is why I hate people. By your measure we’ve been fighting evil since agriculture taught us the word “mine.”

              Well it’s easy to be right of you just move the goalposts to wherever you kick the ball. Good job.

              You act like you’re the only one who wants to be happy. All of us want be happy you dunce. I’ll be a lot happier when innocent people aren’t beaten, taken advantage of, blamed for everything, and given no help.

              And yes. Fighting evil is an everlong battle. We just so happen to be living in a time where it’s rearing up to an extent we haven’t seen for a bit. And its harder this time since theyre more prepared and have been laying the ground work for the past 50 years

                And I’ve been sounding the alarm and voting and donating and phone banking and advocating and writing my representatives for half that time and I’m sick of it.

                It’s y’all’s turn now. I’m done trying to keep this shithole country on a shithole planet covered with shitty apes from destroying itself.

                  Yup, again its all about you and your feelings. The rest of us are super full of energy and just as excited to keep up the fight. And we definitely have more energy and faith after fighting with you throughout this whole thread! /s

                  Good riddance and stop bothering everyone with your negative bullshit. You say you hate people but you keep answering to everyone so try to bring thier spirits down. Just leave and go be the downer loner you wanna be

      You think a constant stream of pessimism is engaging others? C’mon. You know what you’re doing.

        I have yet to see evidence to the contrary.

        The alternative is me drinking or shouting at traffic at it whizzes by.

        Convince me there is literally any hope at all and I might stop.

        Or just block me. I don’t care anymore.

          Not a chance. I’ll always be right here, to combat your cynicism with actionable criticism for improvement.

              No offense, but I’m not trying to change your mind. I’ve been convinced you’re pretty content in your perspective for quite some time now. It’s about how your words influence others that concerns me. Most people are passively informed. If all they hear is Democrats are useless, they’re less likely to believe voting matters.

                Didn’t think so. That’s how fucked we are. I’ve been trying to find a way out for months.

                And if the democrats don’t want people to think they’re useless they should stop being so fucking useless.

                    It’s cute you think our fuckededness is just a matter of politics. We’ve painted our entire species into so many corners we have to be living in 11 dimensional space to hold them all.

                    And the worst part isn’t the problems, it’s that all the tools we have to fix the problems are broken and/or insufficient to solve them.

                    We are fucked on a global scale and there is no way out.

                    As for what the Democrats could do: Maybe don’t schedule a vote for when a Senator isn’t going to be around, and then don’t call losing said vote a “win.”
