    They weren’t leftists, or anything close, but rewarding them for being ‘at least you arent trump’ sends them a message that they don’t really have to try.

    On the flip side, Trump has caused a ton of pain, and I think anyone who was trying to punish the dems for being shit is regretting it at this point, but I do see a bit of a light at the end of the tunnel here.

    Nobody who’s thought on it even briefly thinks unfettered capitalism is good anymore lmao.

      Look, if we really believe that the Dems aren’t the answer then the only choice we have left is mob violence, and a full blown governmental reset with a new Constitution. Personally I’m for that, however, I would like to give The Democratic Party enough rope to make it clear that is what needs to happen, or enough rope to actually get us out of this mess and on the path of recovery.

      But yeah, if you’re not willing to use your small piece of violence allotted to you by the system, then I assume you’re mad enough to actually get bloody. And if you’re not either one of those, then your opinion doesn’t really have any weight, and you’re exactly what they accuse you of.

        Thats a bit of a pivot from the topic, im talking about pressuring the dems to change, not taking to the street. Adapt or fail.

      Not rewarding them means we give up our right to vote after which we won’t be able to remove the right without bullets because we won’t have fair elections anymore. It’s estimated that dismantling USAID alone will cause 14M preventable deaths by 2030 many of them children.

      I guess the question is why are you willing to kill millions of children and crash our entire country in order to make a point we’ll only appreciate after we are watching them drag people to the death camps they are already building.
