    The Democratic Party doesn’t give a fuck about America turning into a fascist nightmare. Never have, never will. Most of them would be happy to play puppet opposition if it meant that the checks would keep coming.

      Try convincing someone like rhoeri of that.

      They’d rather deflate the popular anti-wealth momentum within their own party just so they can deflect attention away from inequality, and thats why they’ll continue losing. You and I know that, but people like the above will continue placing blame on voters who are increasingly frustrated instead.

      That’s how libs end up collaborating with fascism - they’re too invested in the existing and failing capital structure

        rhoeri

        I wonder how rhoeri’s campaign to pass electoral reform in their state is going? Surely someone couldn’t be that upset with 3rd party voters and not be driven to fix the voting system that is the source of the spoiler effect.

        There’s none so deaf as those who are really deaf

        I don’t know if it’s a legacy of organized religion or a devolution into tribalism, but they seem to see “vote blue no matter what” as the biggest part of their identity.

          Oh hey rhoeri. Lol I scroll down and you’re right here! Perfect I was wondering how the electoral reform campaign in your state is going?

          You do want to fix the source of the spoiler effect you are so very concerned with right? Imagine all the time you could save not having to make a thousand comments demanding people to vote for your preferred candidate.

          I bet you’re really close to getting it passed. Looking forward to seeing it in the news friend.

            No, it’s like a voter blaming ninety million non-voters for not voting for a man who told them this would all happen.

            Let’s not resort to analogies here. It is exactly what it is.

              To reiterate, I voted, people voted for trump too you know. If we had a perfect election system to begin with there would not be a non voting demographic, now as much as i would too like to live in that reality, that isnt this one. If im going to somehow find more contempt to millions of americans rather than the few up top, right now, I’d be a sad sack of shit.
