I’m sorry but you think the center left doesn’t vote? That’s not true at all. And California didn’t have a problem voting for Harris or Schiff. The fact that those ballot measures passed on the same ballots that overwhelmingly voted for Harris and Schiff is an indictment of the Democrats.
I’m sorry but are you yelling into the void or trying to motivate people to vote?
Oh I understand, and somehow that is better than it was.
They will continue to do nothing. Which is, if I understand what you want, counter to your intention.
You think they don’t care about being locked up in a cell for 23 hours a day the rest of their life? (The actual alternative)
The problem is progressives have been dutifully voting. And they get shit on every cycle. There may not be a leftist movement but there’s definitely a center left movement and the democrats have been running away from them even while they keep voting and being vocal. They do not care. You want to talk about statistics? Lets talk about the studies that have shown all parties in the US are far more likely to suggest to suggest pro-corporate legislation than legislation that helps the people? It’s literally over 90% of the time that the corporate interests get chosen. The people who say voting doesn’t matter have been right for 20 years. It’s only now that we have this MAGA movement there’s actually been a difference to the average American.
And no, California voted it’s ass off because of the senate race. The same people who vote blue there though would happily vote homeless people into concentration and death camps, literal quotes from around town are like, “I just want them to go away, I don’t care what the government does with them”. And every one of those ballot questions was framed in light of the homeless issue in ads. Homeless people steal, we need to bring back tougher sentences, Homeless people are lazy so once they’re in prison we need to teach them to work, rent controls mean the area goes to shit and homeless people move in, medical nonprofits aren’t giving the money to homeless people so we need to force them to use the money. All of it was bullshit, but the very same people who voted for Schiff ate that shit up.
What exactly are you saying the article proves? The boy crying wolf was finally right? You know the sheep get eaten in that story for the same exact reason people didn’t take the democrats warnings seriously. The DNC fucked up.
Is it? Aren’t we always talking about voter suppression?
Face it, the Democrats didn’t make a positive argument for themselves and people were tired of hearing that Republicans were evil. They promised stuff.
That’s not a saying. And no. It still isn’t a vote.
Oh that’s not an exception. Rebellions regularly fuck up and execute people who weren’t collaborators or perpetrators. Like I said, at every level.
There just isn’t a large leftist movement in the US. They aren’t going to win more than a few seats. And blaming them while running further to the right is exactly what’s happened every election in my lifetime. People have to exert effort to vote in most places, they need to get time off, they need to stand in line for hours, they need to deal with partisan poll workers, and for what? To watch the Democrats do corporate welfare too?
And don’t start with the whole they were warned bit either. Every single cycle the Democrats have said the Republicans would end democracy. So nobody was listening to that anymore. The word fascist has entirely lost it’s meaning in the US.
Oh? Aren’t you guys always yelling about voter suppression? So which is it? Everyone who didn’t vote made a conscious decision or at least some people were prevented from voting?
As for the rest. Yes apathy is a choice. After decades of watching both parties do nothing about their slow slide into homelessness I cannot act surprised that people are more worried about making rent than voting.
That’s laughable. After decades of politicians measurably ignoring their constituents and making laws their corporate donors ask for, you accuse people of being egotistical. That’s straight up bullshit dude.
Sigh. They didn’t vote. That’s quite literally not a vote. No matter how hard you want to blame them for something they didn’t do.
All you’re doing is ensuring people ignore the Democrats. They hate politics. They don’t trust you or the parties. Yelling at them just confirms it.
Tell that to the DNC
He’s blaming the people who didn’t vote. Which is a bullshit theory the conservative Democrats have been pushing to keep from dealing with why they lost.
Yeah. I think you’re getting the scope of things. We’re being attacked and these chuds just told our guys to stop fighting.
Eh, that’s a tenth of their worth. It would be significant. But a million?
He’s a fun fact. A billionaire expends the same percentage of wealth with 500,000; as a normal worker does buying a 20 dollar meal at Burger King.
Eh a shut down is more than a strongly worded letter at least.
