I’m 51 years old. I was swindled into voting Dem once after a lifetime of independent, third party voting. This morning I sat down to complete my ballot and head to the polls - this Debrief appeared and reminded me that by voting third party in this election I will be voting my conscience and for the possibility of fracturing the corporate run duopoly.
You saying "It's all connected, we are all connected", made me want to tell you this:
I'm a 50 year old white man, living in the Netherlands. English is only my third language. Identity-politics-wise you and I have nothing in common. Yet, for several years now, you managed to put all my political opinions, frustrations and angers into words in a much better way than I ever could.
In the world-wide political arena, I feel represented by your voice. Thank you for that, genuinely.
2:30 hilariously, the right to marriage equality was yet another right that democratic legislators deferred to the supreme court. They are worse than useless on this issue as well.
Good to hear your radars again. I'm with you on this 100%, irrespective of who will diss you and me and everyone else for our views of conscience. Going out to vote for Jill Stein without reservation. Not in my name. Not with my tax dollars!
Just upgraded to paid subscriber to come here and say "Oh my God, these are the perfect words!" Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, for your work, your words, your wisdom, and your energy.
In the remaining hours, play this (from 1 hr 11 min) to anyone who feigns sympathy but still intends voting for the duopoly because Trump, ‘groceries’ etc.,

He’s so disingenuous. We know a national right is important, that’s what she’s saying. But she saying that she doesn’t trust the Undemocratics to do it. Because they haven’t before why should we believe them now. And the other point she’s making is that it’s tone deaf in a state where that isn’t the issue and Gaza is.
"I'm also tired of holding correct positions and losing" This is so relatable! Also: I am tired of people who should know better holding the same vote blue no matter who BS position

That's very kind of you to say. It means a ton. - B

Neither corporate party can be pushed. Brilliant closing arguments for this election day. The more people hear it the better.
Just found you via System Update podcast. Great analysis!

Thank you for your moral clarity Brie 👍.
Briahna is the best! I look forward to your briefings!! Can you please do more daily videos!
I had missed Brianna’s radar. This should be on YouTube.
Thank you Briahna. Fantastic and clarifying take on the current shit show.
Amazing perspective as always

Briahna,
I'm a black leftist. I'm definitely mourning with you on this.
I hope we can build black and left coalitions for progressive wins.
How do you think we can build that now? Like actual big coalitions that include "normal" and "older" black voters?
I'm also tired of holding correct positions and losing
