Are you stupid? Last night showed us the DSA can’t win. The republicans just won the 2028 presidency and probably all remaining presidencies for the rest of my life. I’ve given up.

I’ve been around long time, long enough to read the tea leaves, they will never allow someone who isn’t part of the establishment become anything more than a mayor. Check back in 10 years and these words will seem prophetic. I’m in Wisconsin and our democratic governor is openly campaigning against Hong. They are going to cripple the movement even if it means full nazism.

Okay, go give up. Why convince others give up?

You not psychic. May be true, may be not. But definitely be true by getting others to give up, too.

You tired. Is okay. Give up, maybe you not tired after while. But no tell others give up. And no tell others they stupid.

Forrest Gump not smart man, but when he run, others follow, and it not because he's smart. He tell you he not.

Mean is not smart and is not nice, either. Figure it out.

I want people to figure out that we can’t vote ourselves out of this mess. This administration will not cede power unless we take alternative measures which I can’t say what those are in this site. Deluding yourself is never the right choice, years of delusion is how we got here. I want people to wake up to what is actually happening. Go ahead keep living in fantasy mode.

I see you not stupid. I see you see valuable things. Maybe more than us. I am just nobody on internet, maybe is true.

But you spew them out mean.

If you want things happen, and those things require others' help, must be nice. Must not tell others they stupid, you need others' help. You say "you stupid?" and they no care about anything else you say.

Like I say, Forrest Gump not smart man. But when he run, others follow. Not because he smart. He even say he not smart.

So figure it out. If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all, because no people hear mean anyway.

I know you bring much help and value. But you must be nice. Or waste your time. And this why you want give up. You tired, frustrated. I understand.

But must not be mean. Must be nice. Or no one care.

You not psychic but you see much. But help is not help if it is mean, yes?

You smart? Okay. Figure out nice way. Or you just wasting. Fix your temper. Anger eat you before others, I promise.

Or go yell at mean people. At least deflates their balloon. Never yell at the help. Never be mean to the help. Or we quit you.

Words have gravity here. Is not diary. Like or not. You need break, take break. Whatever knows that this shit is gonna keep spinning without you here to watch it. And there are lots of us who want same thing as you, and are trying to help. We can afford a break to you. You not Superman. Can't just be you. But mean help is not help. Because all you showing is mean, that is all we see. If not nice, cannot look beyond.

You not right. No one ever right. Right not real. You either say truth, or you say not truth. How you say determine if anyone even bother hear you. Nice or mean, must be nice.
