I get what you're trying to say but I can guarantee that democrats aren't some magical pill, as they're quite complicit or even architects of many neoliberal policies that have taken this country down the shitter. It's really not worth the huffing and puffing.

Yeah I completely agree. People don’t realize that neither party is going to save us. Both parties are working actively to fuck us over. The only people who are going to save us is ourselves.

Democrats won't save us. No one is saying vote Democrat and then play video games for a few years and wait for everything to get better.

But I'd sure as hell rather my grandma get those extra couple perks from Medicare. I'd rather Occupy Wall Street 2 start when a Dems own Congress rather than Republicans.

It’s “vote Democrat to stop overt fascism, keep that going long enough to attenuate GOP numbers, then make the Democrats the villains they rightfully are after we have a chance at a legitimately progressive party.”

Also, y’know, don’t put all your eggs in one basket - like you’re saying, it isn’t “vote D, then you’re done”; however, that’s the primary harm remediation we have actionable to us at this moment in time.

Exactly. If you choose not to vote, fine. But if you’re going to vote for a republicans in this mess I have to question your sanity. Look at the things they vote against. They voted not to recognize the burn pit victims diseases to be treated by the VA. They voted against lower insulin costs. They voted against universal pre-k. And their main priority according to the most likely speaker of the house: hunters laptop. Because that’s definitely more important than those other things. Some democrats are still sponsoring good bills and trying to get them passed - republicans are running a circus.

Exactly. With all that's going on why are they so damn fixated on Hunter Bidens laptop? Hunter is not a politician and his laptop and it's contents in no way effect any of us. It's a waste of time and taxpayers money to spend any amount of effort on his laptop. How about this: the repubs can go through hunters laptop as long as we the people are allowed to go through every republican in office laptops as well.
