Whats it say about our country that so-called-progressives won’t vote Democratic.
Again and again you care more about progressives who want something better while still voting dem then the Republicans lol.
Studies have shown that dem positions are overwhelmingly popular when they're not labeled as specifically dem. The problem is laws that allow media to blatantly lie to people who are desperate, stupid, or both.
What
He's saying you give more attention to progressives who won't kowtow to democrats in their speech, when they vote for democrats with their votes. The real issue is a system that let's a R win when they don't get the majority of votes (that last part is my addition)
The only thing I’m asking for is voting for Dems - specifically to stop trump and his evil horde of idiot rapists.
Speechify however one likes, I’m more than likely in agreement - but there is a significant number of commenters specifically positioning themselves as “left” or “progressive” who very specifically refused to vote Democratic despite necessarily punching themselves in the crotch out of ignorance.
If someone’s onboard with voting to defeat MAGA but wants to rag on the Dems or the administration for less-than-whatever, bring it. I 100% support that.
It is my duty to talk shit about the party I vote for.
That’s all I’m askin for
"evil horde of idiot rapists" so well put.
Exactly
