 To be clear…he’s gonna lose 🫤

Warren is a household name here. To not vote for her, my friends immediately are like “what???”

She pretends, and does a good job of it, to be the needed savior of women and the working class in MA. Except she fails at every turn! It’s sad that more people won’t just look outside their tribalism to see that, in this case, Deaton is actually just fairly moderate on most things and not looking to go against your freedoms. And not enough people care about her anti-bitcoin stances.

But, I still need to vote my conscience https://image.nostr.build/7336905aef379228983b85b779eef489f3ed95ab6bad10ca1d615dd5855d65ea.jpg

 Sucks, I wish people could just open their eyes and see politicians for what they are… prostitutes for the corporations that fund them.

The fact that everyone buys this huge charade of bullshit is still just mind blowing when you see it for what it is. And she’s one of the worst. 

It’s crazy that what gets you elected is literally the most excruciatingly ignorant and shallow condition possible… “do people recognize the name, and is there a slightly positive or negative association?”

And people wonder why this system produces constant streams of dogshit 😂

 When you have a vice president, and now presidential candidate who is LITERALLY a 'political whore' and nobody cares, you know 'the system is broken'. Or is it operating exactly as it's supposed to..?

But then there are things each of us feel compelled to lie to ourselves about. Those can be family things, personal things, or things like 'the money and political system are OK'... Once we break out of the money lie, it's easier to see and admit all the other things...
