Nonsense. Only one party has been imposing onerous ID requirements, removing polling places from opposition-heavy areas, and falsely claiming that vote-by-mail is rife with fraud.
The Dems couldn't even protect abortion rights. I don't know if you noticed but things have been going backwards. The problem is capitalism and you can't fight it from within. Dems are a lost cause and you are actively hurting those who want real change by directing their anger into an institution that doesn't give a shit about anything but their donors. You are delusional my brother and I hope one day you will see it.
They never had a sufficient majority with which to do so. (Manchin and Sinema don't count.)
Maybe it is, but that doesn't make voting ineffective. Capitalism, too, can be voted out.
Please refrain from insulting me. This is not Reddit.
Fine naive then if you find that less insulting. You are Charlie Brown trying to kick the football and the Dems are Lucy snatching the ball and making you look like a fool.
