The bottom line is that people need to vote at every level

Pretty consistently the stopping point in achieving a lot of good has been the margin at which one singular person is able to halt everything.

Republicans barely have to do anything to backslide our democracy and meanwhile the democrats apparently have to end up spectacular in every conceivable way to achieve keeping the fucking lights on and some woefully under-publicized gains.

There needs to be some serious talk about reshaping the republic as all these octogenarians begin to finally drop, because it’s quite obvious that the current federal model has aged out of what clarity the founding fathers may have seen in it. We need leaders on this movement, and we need solid objectives that are clear to the movement.

iirc a decent number of them expected it to be revised regularly, so we’re actually overdue compared to their expectations
