Return of the King

Southerner here. It’s this kind of carte blanche thinking that had left the liberals and progressives of the South fighting an uphill battle. When the major party most aligned with our values throws up their hands and withdraws all support, we are left only with our metropolitan counties trying to lead by example, however flawed we may be. I want to help my rural statesmen get the help they need so that they’re above water long enough to realize the true opponent, the 1% aka the new age plantation owners. But when we only have 2-3 counties per state trying to stem the tide while weathering the onerous rulings of a gerrymandered state legislator, it’s slow going. I almost left once, but that’s accepting defeat. I’m not leaving this country if we take a significant rightward turn, because I’ll lose any ability to right the ship. Same goes for the South.

From a Blueberry in a Raspberry pie, with love.

A tiny bit miffed they used a homophone in blue for one of the four. Made me think it wasn’t the obvious choice.

You have to take into account the electoral college advantage that Republicans have. It’s not enough to just win the popular vote. So, don’t forget to vote at all levels when you can. :)

The headline is, “Harris sidesteps spotlight when it comes to her identity.”
