A BBC fact check shows, ICE agents fired 10 shots into the back of nurse Alex Pretti while he was disarmed, face down, and pepper sprayed in the eyes.

Ben, thanks for LOUD AND CLEAR warning about the stupidity of not voting, and the foolishness of sniping against people who may not be perfect, but who at least will not help the fascists crush us.
But I have a question. Where are you seeing a lot of this surrender sentiment? I'm seeing it a little, but not that much. Who/what should I be following to find out more?

@Energetic_Nova I hope you understand that I am just goofing with Ben to give him a chance to sound off about this again. We are not disagreeing, just so its clear.

@benroyce @Wyatt_H_Knott @mkoek @randahl There is about half a dozen countries in the world where voting is mandatory and Australia, Brazil, and Cyprus actually have a fine for not voting (yeah, about 20 AUS$, but still). OTOH you’re right, a mere handful of dollars wouldn’t convince the people you described with such a colorful metaphor to get their butt to the voting booth…
Watching from this side of the pond and if there’s no epic landslide in November, a LOT will give up on you. -

And I have to vote for Marie Gluesenkamp Perez and was a Bernie voter 2016 and 2020 but ended up feeling Biden was better than I ever thought possible. And ended up loving him in a 100% serious way. Jayapal is my current fave progressive.
