    Just checking in: has ‘vote blue no matter who’ been working well for you folks the last few elections? Last time I seem to remember dropping trans messaging since it was a perceived liability and trotting out Liz Cheney.

    Fuck your genocide party and fuck the GOP. Our differences are not reconcilable. I’m not interested in a party run by liberal capitalists.

      They say this with a straight face. You just need to ask who was in charge when roe v wade was overturned and what was the response to try to save important hard fought rights.

      But no, it’s the people trying to hold power accountable that is the problem.

        Come on that’s not even a hard one. Congress was split, not enough votes to break fillabuster, meaning Dems didn’t have enough votes to codify Roe after the conservative Supreme Court, thanks to Trump 1, repealed it.

        To fix the Supreme Court would take a supermajority which is unlikely. Codifying Roe will take much less. They should have done it during the Obama years when they held a fillabuster proof majority.

        If you want to undo the system you should at least have a basic understanding of how it works

      Voting is basic harm reduction, people advocating against voting are doing the GOP’s work for them and should be mocked.

        Voting has nothing to do with harm reduction you twit. Harm reduction is mutual aid and community organizing in direct action that actually fucking stops the harm from happening.

        Throwing your vote into a hat and hoping for the best doesn’t do shit to actually prevent or stop harm from happening. It just lets people pretend they actually got off their ass and did something.

          Not voting led to Trump, who is objectively more harmful. Elections have consequences, vote, you muppet.

              I did read the article. “Everything’s fucked, bury me!” would have been more succinct, and offers just as many solutions. Voting, unlike a magical revolution, actually exists, and actively refusing to exercise political power to create change makes you a moron.

                Wow you are incredibly dim if that is what you interpreted. No wonder you are the way you are with media literacy that abysmal. Again, I’m doubting that you even actually read the article.

        Same billionaire owners, same entrenching of corruption, same imperialist agenda, same pro-genocide policies, same presidential names in the Epstein files. Both parties strengthen capitalist exploitation and maintain white supremacist, imperialist patriarchy.

        At the core of it, the Democratic party is a tool for the Epstein class and a highly effective mask. Having a token liberal social policy lends legitimacy to a corrupt system, deflates pressure to change, and maintains billionaire control, while serving nothing of value to working people and leaving capitalism unchallenged.

        Seriously: fuck your party. Why should working people get in line and vote for you? They continue to not show up because they are disenfranchised as a foregone conclusion before they walk into the voting booth.

            God you people are fucking stupid and love your straw man arguments. No one is saying Mamdami is like Trump. But Schumer, Pelosi, and damn near the majority of Democratic congressionals have taken AIPAC $.

            And you’re gonna try and sit here and say that 80% evil is better than 100% evil? They’re both evil and fuck the Democrats for forcing the lesser evil on us when there is a way to work towards putting no evil into postitions of power.

            Get fucked.
