@Florence I have been a registered Republican since 1976. I am disgusted at what has become of the party since then. Regan would not recognize the party, much less Abraham Lincoln. Fake patriots, fake Christians… It seems it is the party of fakery.
Tomorrow we decide what kind of country we want to live in. I really hope enough people are taking this seriously. I've never seen so much at stake in my lifetime. #VoteBlue
If you're an American and are or know someone who is Trans, Gay, Sick, Female, or any of the list that seems to include the majority of non-white males that the Republicans have or want to remove rights from, VOTE!
Vote to remove any and all Republicans.

In the space of 24 hours, Twitter went from being my home for the last six years to being a place like 4chan and telegram where I monitor violent extremism. I left Twitter because those two things don't mix well.
Elon Musk's Twitter hellscape. And ours. This weekend the guardrails truly came down. https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/elon-musk-s-twitter-hellscape-ours-n1300398
What I do on CoSo? I am a link to the hellscape which is other social media, feeding news and information to my follows, along with my blatantly biased opinions.
I use a ton of news feed apps, and I mine FB and Twitter so u don't have to. The intel I find here, to try and keep u up to date on real news and information u need, and not the garbage u don't.
I am an FDR/JFk Liberal, and I wont apologize for it, my views are best summed up by Jimmy Smits from West Wing:
Notes On CoSo Culture:
Here we take personal responsibility for the experience we have here. There is NO algorithm. Yes it takes a bit more effort. Yes there is a learning curve. The reward for this is community.
Read the Users guide, ask any question, experiment and play.
Use and get to know, Hashtags, Lists, Filters, and all the other tools CoSo provides.
Be patient with yourself, this might be very different than you are use to.
No Really, ask Questions.
Effort = Reward
