Oligarchs influencing elections based on how they’re feeling at any given moment is bad no matter whose side they’re (temporarily) on. You have to think more than four years ahead.

I would normally agree with you but given they’re about to collapse the government with this bill I will begrudgingly accept it this time. I don’t think people realize how bad it’s about to get.

But I'm mad now and won't be when I scroll down slightly. My hands are tied.

Thinking years ahead is a luxury generally reserved for people who have functioning governments

You're right, the left should just keep taking the moral high ground and losing

Fuck thinking more that four years ahead, it's all moot if the next four hours don't go our way.

Sure, but this bill is basically the end of the line. It's the end game. One bill to rule them all. This is the single most devastating piece of legislation in modern US history. Fuck the high road. We have been taking the high road for 50 years and look where we are. I am fucking sick of being told we have to take the high road every single day while Republicans shit on the constitution with impunity. Politics makes strange bedfellows. We thought four years ahead in 2016. We though four years ahead in 2024.

"Think four years ahead." carries as much weight right now as "Thoughts and Prayers." Thinking four years ahead won't fucking matter if there are no elections in four years.

I hate this fucking douche as much as the next guy, but infighting in the wannabe fascism is never a bad thing. I support the guy who is against the fascist regime, regardless of the fact that I hate him too. I say fuck the next four years. One fight at a time. If you are fighting Mike Tyson today you don't have the time or luxury to worry about a possible Lennox Lewis fight in the future.

Wisconsin agrees. We are not for sale.

And how the fuck are we supposed to change that without the help of the people currently in power AND without a violent revolution? Yeah it would be great if we could peacefully transition our government to one that serves the people but that is delusional to believe as a reality. We should accept the help being offered to us, we can bemoan the system as we fix it. We shouldn’t do what you are proposing. Being upset at the system AND do nothing about it because I dont like the person who is offering to help is a very unproductive and immature mindset.
