The GOP isn’t doomed. It’s dead.

@JeanAnna Yeah I concede mistys point but morally speaking the party is dead.

practically spekaing is another matter, it's not going to stay in the wilderness unless we keep the pressure on, keep voting, stay engaged

@BetweenKittensandRiots We now have a decent president, maybe some day those Trumpers will see the light that Biden is working for them too.

@JeanAnna they won't. The thing about Democrats is like out here in Oregon Governor Brown often talks about the need for Rural ORegon to gain high speed internet.

Do the Republican voters ever notice? no. and if they do they still change the topic and talk about whatever utterly unrelated to her point shit they are holding against her.

You cannot win as a democrat with conservatives- I don't know how long it's going to get that one to set in but take a look around. No matter how much team blue does for red voters they still hate us.

@BetweenKittensandRiots They close their minds to anything positive that the Democrats are accomplishing. Even on this site there is one person who constantly lies about Biden and now this morning he is lying about COVID-19. Such sore losers.

@JeanAnna https://www.kptv.com/news/governor-brown-signs-bill-to-improve-internet-for-oregon-rural-schools/article_79ab62af-7b47-5cac-9f9b-22acfc688f06.html

not a shred of gratitude for it.

and then people wonder why Governor brown spends most of her time working for us urbanist.

Because we're the ones who send her thank you cards when she does something we like.

@BetweenKittensandRiots They get their comments from Trump and he won't let them say what's really on their minds. Just like sheep they follow whatever Trump says.

@JeanAnna Yeah I'm guilty of being rather distantly left wing so you know i'm actually free thinking because no one told me to be a radical and yet that's how I am.

And yeah when she shut three prisons down recently I was BTFOED (blown the fuck out.) because it was like holy shit not 6 months ago I posted in response to a Ted talk to signal my loyalty with the prison abolition movement and I thought it was a long hard road out of hell I didn't expect to get anything done except leave a comment.

I've been inside one of those facilities for a couple days and if my head were not glued on tightly all being inside a cage for 4 days or so would have done is made me new friends who were released relatively shortly after I was from the same facility, one of them was a boy who lived at the house just after my neighbors, so two doors down.

I pried his mind for tips on shoplifting without getting caught- Anyone who thinks this system is reforming people is naive, they've never seen the inside, they've never seen interactions between prisoners, if anything Going to Prison will teach you to be a better criminal. [/quote]

so I thanked Governor brown.

@JeanAnna I like to remind people too of the fact that with Fentanyl I heard a journalist ask his dealer how he got his job- you know what said?

his exact words?

Oh I got locked up for something similiar and met people in prison.

And I was like uh huh- exactly. Normal people have Resumes, criminals have wrap sheets, the thing is that that wrap heet is your resume to the drug lords about what you're willing to do.

people don't get it, they just do not understand how utterly cynical and savage I can be.

if this system worked it it would have corrected this shit out of existence but it's actively backfiring and my point in bringing this all up isn't to brag or anything it's just my savage way of making a poltiial argument because I'm trying to point out that the system is broken at the core, it's not that prisoners are not treated humanely enough, its that the whole fucking system is fatally flawed.

lets just take all the criminals and put them in one place where they can organzie and talk to each other - thats a great plan.
