I saw “What Dreams May Come” in high school and wept the entire way from the theater to the car.

Even met some friends on the way and had to explain I was crying because it was so beautiful.

I look forward to his single term fighting against every entrenched power structure in the city and also the procedural bullshit that will hamstring anything good he tries to do.

Or losing to the Republican.

Yeah, that one wasn’t nearly as good

Looks like it’s just a guy with the same name.

Unless the famous Mikkelsen has had a really rough 21 years

Yeah.

Plus my racist neighbors with their chemlawn are pissed

Maybe, in the far future, I elected to have my skull sent back in time for that purpose.

Because I totally would.

I let milkweed take over my front planting bed and I’m ecstatic

Yeah but fewer people get the references

If the GOP having control of all three branches of government is the system working then we need a new system.

So your solution is to keep trying the thing that I’ve already indicated doesn’t work.

Unless you’re advocating for me committing interstate voter fraud to flip half the Republican districts blue.

Because we’ve already established that I’m shit at convincing people to vote because I’m a whiny asshole.

No, the entire structure of our government is unable to deal with the world it exists in.

In the rare cases a Democrat I vote for wins they’re either hamstrung by Republicans winning everywhere else or have a stroke and turn into Republicans.

1. Winning is binary, so me voting doesn’t make Trump any less the president.

2. I’ve been trying to do that too and people are too stupid to convince and I’m bad at it.

Nah, I’m done hoping. I’ve seen them dashed constantly.

I’ve been voting D for years and it still didn’t help.

But we won’t. We could have been creating a better world for the past 30 years and we didn’t.

And now it’s too late to prevent the Ross Ice shelf and all of Greenland from falling into the sea.

Yes, this shitty world is definitely the best we could reasonably hope for.

It doesn’t have to be the most interesting time. Just an interesting time.

Still sucks and we’ve got climate collapse to worry about in addition to nukes. And PFAS. And microplastics.
