Democrats would rather lose to a Republican, to a conservative, to a fascist, to Trump, than address the material conditions of the American people.

It is an actual concept??!?!

I have been calling it the ratchet effect for years (because it is a ratchet).

Just happy to see someone else calling it that.

100% when the Democrats have full control it's all 'golly gee willikers' but the second the Republicans have full control it's like 'everyone loves steak now. EAT IT'

Damn, if you posted this six months ago, people would have tried to ban you for it.

Oh yeah, I've posted it before now and it makes some people really angry. It seems to be a very common idea that third party voters are somehow worse than Trump voters, as though the Democratic Party somehow have a right to all non-fascist votes.

Well, I'm glad Mamdani won in NYC and zionist liberals can finally put to rest the need to vote straight ticket Democrat.

Yep, I keep this picture to share anytime people want to talk about how Democrats are the good guys.
