I feel the same way after voting in Texas. Different method for caging and disenfranchising voters, but the outcomes are functionally the same.
I don't think presuming my vote will be traunched and kettled and rendered meaningless through statistical manipulation feels any better simply because I know it will be counted. Its still a rigged game. The outcomes are overwhelmingly predetermined.
What I want more than anything is for my city of Houston to go its own way. To be independent of the corrupt cesspool of bigotry and fear that dominates the capital building. I don't want to simply be counted in the minority. I want my independence.
almost like direct (action) democracy is the only thing that matters and all this bullshit is just tricks to tell us we already said our piece and were overruled, so we need to shut up and just do what most people want, which everyone agrees is a bunch of dumb and bad things if you ask them or look at polls.
from California, and I fucking feel you.
Send Gruesome Newsome my regards.
I'd rather send mine, after what he's advocating doing to unhoused people, but I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn and I know it.
