Apparently the democratic party sucks but we should vote for them anyway and it’s your fault if democrats lose.

It’s accurate to say that the neoliberalism of the Democratic Party has been creating and exacerbating conditions that fuel right-wing engines. But at certain times — which definitely include the next two weeks, through Election Day on Nov. 8 — electoral battles come to a decisive fork in the road. We will be living with the consequences of this crossroads for the rest of our lives.

What’s their plan for restoring abortion rights? What’s the plan for voting rights? What’s the plan for protecting trans people right now? What’s the plan for a living wage? What’s the plan for net zero carbon in 10 years? What’s the plan for convincing millennials and gen z that their grandchildren will be able to survive on the surface of this planet? What’s the plan for housing the growing homeless population? What’s the plan for healthcare as a universal right? What’s the plan for ending inflation while achieving full employment?

The real gaslighter is someone that tells me to support a party whose leadership endorses pro life candidates against a backdrop of Roe v Wade being overturned. The real gaslighter is Nancy Pelosi saying we need a strong republican party every time she appears in public. Good news Nancy, you’re about to get your wish!

funny how those times always coincide with elections isn’t it?

Imagine being the fucking loser that draws all these conclusions and makes all these observations, but the crux isn’t “wow, we need to fuckin do something drastic here” but was instead “vote blue or you’re a fascist”

They won’t remember that once the media starts promoting him again as the ancestral leftist offering sage advice to the dumb naive youngsters.

the last election of his life

He can’t die yet. He’s still in that tontine with Kissinger.

I wonder how many people know the definition of tontine purely because of the Flying Hellfish episode.

With how important the left apparently is to the likelihood of democratic success, maybe they should throw the left the occasional bone?

Omg sweaty the democrats are doing the best they can!! I known they aren’t living up to their shining potential right now but that’s only because the republicans have the presidency no sorry that’s not right but they have the house um I mean the senate oh I don’t know they have something.

They have the parliamentarian and the court. Interfering with that institution would damage its legitimacy and it’s already illegitimate so we need to just let the supreme court do whatever it wants, in order to protect the institutions and the norms. Ultimately it’s pointless to vote because these unelected officials will not approve any reforms to the system but it’s still the most important election of our lives and you need to :vote:
