16. I think it's cute people think there'll be a Democratic party!

Or ANY party other than Rep or Rep adjacent. The Democrats have been screaming about existential damage and destruction... mostly in fund raising memos. I want to see some actual action... more than sternly worded letters. Or people may desert all the other parties, or create a new one of their own. What was done in the past seems to not matter much anymore. We couldn't even get the rigged scotus changed when we had the numbers. Why? Are we all just pawns on a chessboard? I've fought the worst migraine today than I've ever had... and I dreamed last night of dying. THIS is what I worked my entire life to achieve in retirement? I'm so much at a loss right now even primal screaming wouldn't help. Somebody on the side of good take up the just war and destroy the regime we're being made to live under.
