Why should we reward democrats for taking our votes and betraying us?
That's your problem, thinking you're rewarding Democrats somehow by voting for them rather than doing damage mitigation for the country. They're rich and will be fine regardless of who you vote for - you're only making things worse for yourself by not voting for the lesser of two evils.
You say "Thats your problem" like you think the DNC can win without these people you talk down to.
It is our problem. You and me and everybody. Because we are the primary losers whenever the GOP wins elections. Not well to do politicians. They are going to be fine either way.
They can't. But the fascists sure did thanks to their help.
How? We’ve voted blue no matter who for decades and look where it got us.
Maybe democrats should do something to earn our votes.
30 million more people with health insurance? Raising taxes on billionaires instead of cutting them?
Nobody who voted for Harris were trying to do a f*cking personal favor for her. We were all trying to do ourselves and the country a favor. Some other person has to earn your right to permit you to do yourself a personal favor? The rest of us are simply claiming that right for ourselves because we would be fools not to.
Health insurance isn’t health care. It’s a swindle literally concocted by the Heritage Institution to shovel government money to private insurers in exchange for crap insurance. Yes, Project 2025 Heritage Institute.
What a bright, shining example of progress.
Do you get it yet? Democrats are doing republicans’ work for them and holding their hands out to billionaires.
And if they don't, who will be the ones suffering for it? It won't be them.
Oh, okay, you win. Voting blue no matter who is obviously the path to a progressive utopia.
It's more likely to be than letting fascists win, although a lot of work would have to be done primarying the corpos and getting progressives in there. That's not even a possibility when the GOP has power.
You don’t get it. YOU’RE letting the fascists win.
Progressive policies are broadly popular. Corporate democrats are less popular than the least popular president in American history.
No, voting for not-facists isn't letting the fascists win. People voting for fascists and refusing to vote against them are. They may be doing it because the not-fascists suck, but the result is the same.
People like you are the reason that we have a authoritarian fascist in power right now.
Well done. Fucking dipshit.
I voted for Harris. Look what good it did.
Decade after decade of failure. But don’t examine yourself for a second.
There were clearly MANY who thought as you do who DID NOT vote at all.
How is that "teaching the Dems a lesson" going for them? Literally the most important election in the past 250 years and they managed to fumble it for us.
If anything, be mad a them. The Dems are crap too, but this is the political system we are in and it's not changing without a raft of constitutional amendments that WILL NEVER happen. So you should vote against evil, every, god, damned, time.
Democrats working with republicans to kill Trump’s impeachment. Dontcha love bipartisanship? ❤️💕
