Just like when Hitler won, democratically
Don’t tell me El-Sayed, no.1 candidate for the Michigan mayor, won’t be chosen despite the public reception over him…
F*ck this country.
Huh let me see, choosing between genocide or genocide. Tough choice. Boy howdy.
It’s far from the only way. They have the means to rig elections or cancel them altogether.
If you think voting is getting you out of this mess, you’re in for a reality check.
We still need to vote but we also need to pursue other means.
You’re not saying “both sides are bad” but this post is still partly about you. If voting didn’t work then republicans wouldn’t be putting this much effort into suppressing it.
I assumed part of the reason Hillary lost (I said “part”) was because all the media was talking non-stop about how she was going to demolish Trump with ease and it was all a hilarious joke that Trump even thought he had a chance. That much media coverage basically told so the Democrat voters to not bother going to vote because Hillary had it in the bag.
Nevermind that we hold parties accountable and make them actually represent the people. If centrist/corporatist Democrats wanted to win, they should be listening to the people, and they refuse to do that. They are absolutely complicit in what’s been happening over this past decade, even long before that.
Doesn’t matter when winning is losing
I know I’m not cool… But I’m ready to killish
Shouldn’t you be more concerned with the parties caucuses? Since you have a two-party autocrcacy anyways
it works, propaganda, flood the news with the trump bs has made people i know just turned off to politics altogether.
Also plus GOP can only use gerrymandering, propaganda so much before they have to use voter suppression methods. DNC will never try to combat this, because they lose their political capital.
So any criticism of Democrats is a psyop?
Isn’t that what the Republicans have been saying since 2016? Fake news?
Wow, America is fucked. Both parties think using your head is proof you’re not real.
That’s not what’s being said. You can (and should) criticize democrats without “both sides” arguments.
But with a two-party system where one side is clearly worse, you need to vote in the primaries not just the general election if you want a chance of representation.
Primaries are rigged and supporting media is biased. The DNC is a private company with no obligation to follow any of its rules.
Only Democrats at local level are worth supporting. And you have to hope they don’t get indoctrinated as they climb the greasy pole.
gotta ask yourself if you want a chance to fix things or no chance at all. with trump, its no chance at all
Trump is term limited.
My money is on him having a coronation. I can’t see him leaving willingly. Assuming the elections won’t be totally rigged to give him 99% of the vote.
lol, I was expecting delusional replies and was not disappointed.
on paper, yes. voting rights were on paper too. abortion was guaranteed on paper, even. they didnt even try to justify gutting them. can almost bet they’ll try it on that as well
With Trump, there’s not only no chance of things getting better, but a good chance of things getting worse.
yes indeedy
Multiple things can be true. Both sides are bad, but that’s why the concept of voting for the lesser evil is a thing.
Everybody sucks. But you should still vote.
Voting is an illusion. Corporate interests are served whichever party wins. The military budget doesn’t change. The house always wins.
No shit. Vote.
I’m not saying don’t vote. It has an impact on issues A, B and C. But don’t think you are influencing issues D-Z.
Well that’s just nonsense. Any criticism of the democratic party, a famously spineless and dismissive organization, is a psyop?
A party that has collaborated with the Republicans the whole way? Going so far as to make ICE one of the best funded militaries in the world?
given the choice between the benign tumor and the malignant tumor, one is better off with the benign one. refusing to choose just hands it to the malignant tumor by default. furthermore, it’s not about supporting the lesser of two evils but identifying which evil is the worst overall and focusing everything you have on punishing it. refraining from punishing evil is, surprise surprise, AN EVIL ACT
it’s not a choice between a benin tumor and malignant. it’s two malignant tumors, one at stage 2 the other at stage 3.
sure choose the one not leading to immediate death, but don’t stop others from talking about how to cure themselves of their blight. we may even need to talk about, choosing no cancer
