OK democratic leadership, you win; I'll quit voting for your party.
I said the same shit to my senators and Schumer https://www.schumer.senate.gov/contact/message-chuck. If they don't vote no, I won't vote Dem ever again. Tired of it.
May not matter at the rate we're going.
Way i look at it if does then the threat was overblown and they're undeserving anyways.
Just quitting voting isn’t enough, join a local political group. Worst case scenario, they get radical and you’re too into it so you end up on the news. Best case scenario, they get radical and you’re not into it so you go home and plan your meals for the week.
‘Do this thing, but in the best scenario you’re not doing the thing.’
Canceling plans makes me turgid. My first kid was the result of our yoga instructor falling out of their window on New Year’s Eve
How did she anger Putin?
Uh, what? Brand new sentence. Also, you fucked your yoga instructor, or...?
I think I have seen this one
And vote Republican instead? Yeah, that'll show'em.
As we all know there's nothing else to vote for. Please don't look below the first two options on your ballot or voter registration! Or look at the history of political parties in the US!
your braindead take is exactly how you got into this mess
congratulation you filthy trump supporter
Yes, being mad at the people who are enabling trump's bullshit means you must support trump.
Braindead take.
If Republicans didn't have majority then there wouldn't be any DNC making difficult choices. Not voting for democrats is exactly what caused this problem you're supposedly outraged by.
I've held my nose and voted for the Democrats my entire adult life, including mid-terms. Guess I just gotta take it up the ass like the good rube that I am, since the Democrats don't know how to win.
Primary them. The primary is where a protest vote actually matters. It’s where you’ll get the opportunity to replace your dem with a BETTER candidate instead of a worse one in the general election.
I agree. What really disheartened me and cemented them as "Corpo-fascist Lite" was the DNCs fuckery against Bernie Sanders and his willingness to let the chairwoman and Hillary get away with it.
Why are you ashamed at yourself for doing the correct thing? Likening yourself to a cuck surrendering to rape because you voted for your own wellbeing and that of others?
I'm not seeing the connection here. Maybe keep your weird sexual fantasies out of politics, or start assigning blame where it deserves to be.
YOU are the one that brought up the weird sexual fantasies, only to blame them on him. Calm down.
Thats what that "lifelong Democrat" has to say about voting for the DNC.
It's a figure of speech.
Words have meanings, chooae better words if they don't mean what you want.
Ironic.
I was speaking figuratively, dummy. The "blame" for the inability to win lies upon the corporatist/"fascist-lite" DNC and their sycophants and cronies. Especially considering that in the last election, they had the largest campaign war-chest in recorded history and still lost. They've continuously paid lip-service to the working class and now they wonder why ~~they lose~~ they're hated.
This is an Atroturf if I've ever seen one. You literally praise the GOP and insult the DNC in one breath, even accuse the DNC of corporatism lmao like have you not followed politics at all in the last 35 years?
When did I "literally praise the GOP"? Are you high?
