People wonder why Democrats don't pass another New Deal, here are the facts:
FDR was in office for 12 yrs
March 4, 1933โApril 12, 1945
and enjoyed Democratic Senate supermajority for 10 of those 12 yrs.
73rd Congress Dems 62%
74th Congress Dems 75%
75th Congress Dems 77%
76th Congress Dems 70%
77th Congress Dems 66%
You give ANY Democrat that majority for 3 terms, and we'd have massive progress.
Young people, so far, are not turning out the way they should. I swear! ๐คฌ๐คฌ๐คฌ๐คฌ๐คฌ I have no idea what to do. Iโve been begging young people to vote for years and years in a variety of ways. Boomers, the Silent Generation, and GenX are voting, as usual, in high percentages. There have never been enough GenXers, and we have Karens to contend with. We. Need. Young. People. To. Vote. ๐คฌ
Tell me how desperate Pooty is when he has to buy artillery shells from North Korea.
I almost became this statistic in 2008. Please be responsible. But, if you need help, reach out to someone - because you are better than your addiction.

But, much more importantly, I do recall seeing a post by one of the #cosonauts (I'm sorry, I did try and find the post so I could share it ๐ข ) who has been around on #coso far longer than myself that this is the first month this year that the site achieved its funding goal.
I truly hope that many of the users, new and old stick around and support this awesome community, for the rest of the year and beyond. ๐
I just shut down my Twitter account. It took me years to get to over 5K followers, and my big mouth on Twitter got me an invite to the White House (Bidenโs WH) and it saved my Momโs house (tagging the guilty party in front of 5K followers). Iโm heartbroken, and really pissed off. With that said, Iโm grateful for CounterSocial - thank you for being here for us. โค๏ธ
