Heads I win, tails you cheated.

Every primary should be competitive, I don’t care if it’s AOC or Fettermen.

It’s been a loooong time since there was real primary competition for the local congress seat. Shit was bought and sold long ago, enforced by a “power broker” (read: mob boss) who rules regional politics with an iron fist. And the general is just a long string of ~70/30 splits. There was no challenger for the senate seat, either.

Progressives have been making a tiny bit of headway at the local level, at the cost of endless lawsuits and harassment for daring to go against the machine. But the vast majority of committee positions etc are patron/nepo placements even though they’re “elected.” Shit is thoroughly corrupt.

Yes, I still voted.

This is where I’d link to !Malaphors@slrpnk.net but my home base will be in limbo for a while 😬

…hope someone brought a mop.

Technically, pulling the plug will also solve all of my human meatbag issues.

MÖTH

Of all the total scores they could have chosen…

Every time this happens, I think to myself, I should back up and restore settings to my alts, so it’s not as irritating next time. And then I forget.

It was imagined in one of the imagined endings.

Sometimes that’s the only reason I go.

Love ya Gram! 😘

I can relate. Been meaning to fix that hole in my roof for a while now.
