And this is how you get folks to stay home on the couch in 2026.
And then yell at them in comment sections when the democrats lose to fascists again.
If you don't vote for them... They will lose...
They're not a hockey team where it doesn't matter if you participate as a fan or not. If they don't get votes then they don't get political power.
And what is the difference between them winning and losing? I’ve been voting for them for years and hating it every time and getting nothing but excuses.
Are you fucking joking?
I’m frustrated. Democrats win and don’t get anything done because of republicans and then lose and don’t bother resisting the republicans.
Republicans make things worse, of course , but democrats don’t or can’t make things better.
that's a difference. Right there. Dems don't make things better but they don't make things worse. I hate dems but until new party forms I will encourage people to vote dem or at least third party over staying at home because that's put us here. Once the GOP is gone we can collectively give dems the middle finger. DNC knows this which is why they act the way they do.
People have been saying this since I was able to vote: “Just vote for the dems you hate now until they have enough power then we can vote for who we want.”
And in all that time the republicans have gotten more powerful.
There will never be a time in my life where the GOP is gone. And probably not my children’s either.
You're saying this in a thread about a Democrat who won. What is the difference of Chuck Schumer was there or not? It seems to be the same result either way.
My (and other) country being threatened with invasion? Not only ruining your only economy but intentionally destroying countless others? Setting up nazi-esque camps? LGBTQ+ people being othered to the point of violence? What is wrong with you
Even if the Democrats did absolutely nothing the moment they got voted in to the day they were voted out, it’d be immeasurably better than the shit the Republicans are doing.
This way of thinking is why the rest of the world is getting pissed off at ALL Americans, not just the Republicans.
Edit: do some harm reduction and THEN fight for better politics. With the way things are going there’s only going to be one party to “vote” for anyway
The difference is that neo-liberals stop getting angry when a D is in office.
That's it.
The complete destruction of civil rights, a stable state, trade relations, diplomatic relations, the integrity of elections, the actual health if the nation, so on and so on.
We lost Roe under Biden's watch
The Memphis police department got COVID money from Congress that went into the pockets of the officers who beat Tyre Nichols to death on Biden's watch
We torched whatever credibility we had left on human rights issues by arming Israel while they carried out a genocide when Biden was president
Republican led states passed tons of voter suppression laws while Biden was in the White House
See my comment about the destruction of civil rights
Which has all happened despite me voting for them for the last 25 years
Who are the facists in this context? Shubert or the guys he’s voting with? Asking as im not based in us
PRIMARY ALL OF THEM
What an irrational response that would be. I see this as even more reason to not be ambivalent.
I think you're missing their point. They aren't saying they are going to do that, or that it's a good idea, they're saying enough people are going to react that way for it to be a problem. It's not good enough to be correct, you need to be convincing. Just because I can hold my nose and vote for the lesser evil doesn't mean I'm not concerned that not everyone will.
I agree, but we should all be very well aware that most voters are going to act irrationally and conduct ourselves accordingly. Any logical observer could see that the Dems candidate wasn't as bad as the Repubs in 2016 and 2024, and look at all the good that did us.
