Hey. Look at me. Please leave yourself a note somewhere you'll see it later that says "it is going to take years if not decades to get the United States government to the level of functionality it had in November of 2024." If we elect a democrat in 2028, we are not going to be up and running by 2032.
Please make sure you have a reminder in your phone reminding you to not look at 2028/32/36 Democratic candidates and say "why are they not promising/delivering Cool Shit?" because you are going to understand that to get Cool Shit we must have competent people running a decently funded government, and we are not going to have that.
We are not getting UBI. We are not getting single payer healthcare. We are not getting free college or free preschool. We are not redistributing wealth on a large scale. We are not getting free internet. We are not getting ranked choice voting.
If we are lucky, we are going to get an IRS that can collect taxes, qualified schoolteachers, research grants, Social Security, and a government that thinks maybe it should be a priority for people around the worlds to not have AIDS, malaria or TB.
Yearly reminder to write this down.
Hey. HEYYYYY. We will see major positive political change in our lifetime. This post is not saying we won't. This post is saying that the next democratic president is not going to put the government back together in 4 years. Those are not the same thing. That doesn't mean there won't be positive political change in that time. And your life is going to be longer than 4 years!!!!!
Fuck there's positive political change happening NOW on the local level too. Virginia's up to some cool shit
