All the things you’re talking about happened during Biden’s presidency.

Democrats don’t protect us from Republicans. They just use Republicans to threaten us into voting for them. The more people get hurt by Republicans, the better it is for Democrats. They directly benefit from Republicans killing women and withholding aid.

You don’t vote for the guy that’s telling you he’s going to dismantle the government so he gets to stay in power until he dies of old age, while executing anyone that challenges him

This makes no sense. If Trump was going to “dismantle the government” there would be no more president. Also none of us are voting for him, this is a stupid fucking strawman that comes up every time one of you liberals comes in here and tries to use the plight of vulnerable people to cudgel us into voting for a genocidal monster who literally forced trans women into mens prisons and refuses to take a stance on even that very basic issue. She also is committed to building Trump’s wall as well.

So please from the bottom of my heart I mean this with the utmost sincerity: I hate you and every liberal like you because at least republicans are honest about being evil pieces of shit while you smug motherfuckers always try to act like the smartest person in the room when in reality you don’t know jack shit and when people try to teach you you double down with your selfrighteous bullshit. Fuck all the way off. I won’t ban you just yet but that doesn’t mean an admin won’t, maybe stick around and listen to the people you presume to care about but please sit the fuck down and shut up unless you have a good faith question and aren’t just here to concern troll and use the marginalized as a shield to justify voting for the party that hates you and everyone you or I love.

You vote in the people that will try to make a difference, and if they don’t work out you vote for someone next time.

You’ve been doing this for how long? The Republicans are never gonna get less fascist. The Democrats are never gonna magically decide to move left either. The only thing that can actually cause a change, a break from the trend of approaching oblivion, is socialist revolution. You’re kowtowing to people who will have you killed for marginal benefit. Take the hint and stop trying to move mountains for them.

I agree we need a socialist revolution. I just feel like it will be easier to organize something like that if we still have a democracy to influence.

Great. I voted for em previously and they “tried to make a difference” but it didn’t work out and now we have a genocide. Whoopsy. Anyway now is next time and I’m voting for somebody else. Not trump.

So why are you voting for Democrats, when we both know they will just make things worse? They’re already promising to be harsher on the border than Trump was, promising unlimited support for genocide, and aren’t even going to reform the Court. They won’t try to make a difference. They’ll try to let Republicans keep winning so that hopeless, cynical voters keep voting for Democrats.

In the current political landscape, if you don’t vote Red or Blue you are giving your vote to whichever way your state swings.

Even if I agree both sides are shit, I don’t want to allow the narcissist, racist, xenophobic, fascist, felon, wanna be dictator to get back in power and dismantle our democracy.

I would like us to swing so far left it makes Rupert Murdochs head spin, but I’ll take the not-fascist if that’s all I can get.

that’s what we’ve been doing for generations; picking the lesser evil since they’re the closest thing to “people that will try to make a difference” we have in this country and it’s painted us into this corner of a choice between an democrat genocide enabler and a republican who only wishes he was.

“The rich and corporations have owned this country since Regan’s (sic) presidency” You may want to look further back in US history…

Oh I understand, but Regan repealed many laws that were holding corporations in check. Since Regan things have exponentially gotten worse.

Democracy works when everyone stops paying attention to which color the party was that had the idea, and starts working towards bettering its citizens lives.

I did this, turns out the Green candidate is the one that will better citizen’s lives.

That’s exactly what I’m doing. Voted for Biden in 2020, voting for Stein now.

  • Technically my 2020 vote was part of a “swap” with a friend in CA. They voted PSL for me while I voted for Biden to make them feel better.
