(22,976 posts)If I were younger, Id be looking to move to Vancouver, BC or Nelson, NZ. But Im 68 and dont make the cut (on several counts) for citizenship elsewhere.
Ive been a registered, voting and donating Democrat since 1971. Im about done, I have no fight left in me. Democrats have been self-immolating for decades. 32 states now have top-to-bottom GOP rule. There are the Kochs, Sheldon Adelson, the Mercers, Citizens United. SCOTUS is right-wing for the next 20-odd years. There are also too many additional lower-level, lifetime judgeships being confirmed that they will be interpreting the law for decades. The right wing has its own 25/7 news network, and countless radio personalities. They have plotted and planned for decades, content to play the long game, and now, with control over all three branches of government, they are running the table.
And Democrats? Theyll always have ideological purity. But thats all.
