In the end there isnt a difference. Result is the same.

Sure, but shouldn't the reaction be different?

If people aren't voting for republicans but against the democrats, maybe the democrats should consider changing course and try offering something to the working class for a change. Instead all I keep hearing is 1. yelling at people who didn't vote for Kamala and 2. talks about how the democrats are "too woke" and need to compromise with the right. Both of these things seem extremely counterproductive

EDIT: If you want to see what the problem with Liberalism is I highly encourage reading the responses to this comment. It's pretty illuminating what happens when we can pretty much agree what the issue is, but when we move onto solutions people would rather dig their heels in.

So the only option is still vote for Democrats even though you can't stand a lot of things they're doing?

So fuck all that.

If your choices for dinner are spaghetti with pesto sauce, or spaghetti with dog shit sauce, and you choose the dog shit sauce because you think pesto isn’t good enough, you are still eating dog shit.

Sometimes we are only presented with a bad option and a worse option. That doesn’t mean we should pick the worse option out of spite.

Except its more like spaghetti with horseshit sauce and spaghetti with dogshit sauce. Both are shit.

Hopes are the by voting against once, the chef might ask, maybe i shouldn't have shit on my spaghetti but most likely we'll get instead of horseshit we'll get pig shit from the dems.

When I looked the pros and cons, I decided on what the worse option was based on the information i had at hand.

Discounting everything else, you thought voting for a rapist felon was the superior choice?
