Dems are not harm reduction in any way

Congratulations, you are the reason we have what we have now.

I agree that people should at least check the box, but leftists who are fed up are not the entire reason for "what we have now". A lack of mutual aid alongside politics is also the problem. There is also the whole problem of Suburbia and its culture: one of these problems is a fear of crime and "stranger danger" (this is only a problem when making sure you aren't talking to a federal agent). There are people still watching the same cable television that the internet supposedly replaced wholesale, and most of it's Fox News. These people completely outnumber the people who withhold their vote.

I honestly just hate the United States. I cannot find any other country on Earth that represents such a grave threat to freedom, aside from Israel which is of course a client state. I'd get rid of the "world police" no matter what "terrorists" run rampant because they will never be as terroristic as the U.S. anyway. I will vote for harm reduction, but I really, really want the American Union to break up.

I’m with you, but I will disagree about the suburbs. Born and bred in the ‘burbs, I live there now. We are not the majority, but there are plenty of progressive people not living in fear of the things you describe. That being said, I’m more and more fed up with this country everyday. Suburbs in another country continues to look more appealing.
