I'm ready for us to not vote for anymore of dumps nominees at all.

To not vote for anything that maga or dump put forward. I mean I get it when it comes to keeping the government open and funding things like SNAP and such, but what are we really facing? The funding of SNAP or fighting fascism? If that argument is true then how can we capitulate to fascism to hurt people less and not actually fight the fascism? How would that be any different than Chamberlain? I think its fair to ask what is the alternative, how do we actually fight the fascism that we face. The first step is to resist in every way possible. We are not doctors as much as I want to follow the " first do no harm". The other side has learned that they can weaponize that against us. Politics is as much as a way to help people as it is to fight. Its time for us to learn how to politically fight and not let them control us by holding things hostage against us. I'm done with it.

At least, that is how I recall it going. Sometimes such quips get mangled in the re-telling.
