Holding the line on Climate Change means the US Govt still officially denies it’s even an Emergency, for another 2 years. Then if the Dems win, they can congratulate themselves for not stepping Backwards. If not, then the thing called ‘America’ steps Backwards.
Holding the line on Immigration means basic human rights are still being denied, and the border is still on a War Footing. It means kids are still taken from their families and given to nominally Christian orphanages and homes, or left to live on concrete, in cages.
Holding the line on Justice means Police are allowed and encouraged to murder citizens if they feel any fear whatsoever, while boldly thrusting themselves deep into everyone’s Business. Their very Presence is a Threat of Violence. (Courts have determined Cops do not even have to warn us. Their very presence is supposed to put us on notice they might shoot us for any reason, or no reason at all.) And we are all supposed to show extra submissive anytime the Law is around, or they will make Examples of us.
Holding the Line on ‘Campaign Finance’ means guys who rode the Gravy Train of Bribes to high office will keep collecting money from all sides of every issue, as the price to even talk to them. It hardly matters on substantive issues who is in office at all, because they are both bribed by the same people, with the same goals.
So when Dems try to get you excited about ‘Holding the Line’ for 4 whole years while the planet dies and lives are destroyed, and ALL the media seem together selling this story that this is somehow the Dems idea of Winning, or it should be OUR idea of Dems winning, it means they want you to think this is doing pretty good, instead of the abject failure this represents. American institutions have shat the bed, and most of us are still saying we don’t smell it, while the clock is ticking.
The time to invent a New Way of Life is Now, or 20 years ago. The heroic effort to ‘Save’ the Privilege we enjoy is a total Waste, in the big picture.
