Biden is going all-in with the lies. Voters today will be shocked to hear that once, you were supposed to win voters. Now, it’s about hating some. Biden has spurred Florida & is giving the finger to everyone who hates genocide. And Netanyahu will STILL stab him in the back.

Now that this post is doing numbers there's gonna be a lot of people saying why this will never work where they live, etc Don't become one of those people so convinced of your own powerlessness that you feel there's no options, these methods are proven to work

Hellll yes. About powerlessness and options, I see value in getting a good hold on ideas I think of as failing forward and non-zero chances Tons of daunting uncertain unlikely unrealistic etc stuff falls somewhere short of being absolutely certain to accomplish absolutely nothing right? (1/
Yes! Annoying the shit out of your local representatives in numbers is more effective than people think. I've given up hope for governmental change but city/state is an entirely different animal.
People have forgotten how the cultivate the lost art of saying "none of my fucking business." And, as a deliberate design choice of the modern web, which loses money if people do this en masse. Engagement metrics don't go brrr if people go about their own serious business.
