    For every 1 person turning a new leaf, there are 99 ex-republicans that will be “done with politics” while constantly talking shit about liberals and never taking accountability for their own actions.

    We live in a democracy. When you vote for someone that does horrible things, that’s like hiring someone to do horrible things for you. They are “just following orders” from you, the voter.

      It would help if Republicans could distinguish between the actual “radical left” and the center-right (and moving further right) DNC. If they knew actual leftist policies, many would support them, as has been shown in a bunch of those “tricking Trump voters” Youtube videos. Unfortunately they’ve been conditioned to fear words like “socialism” and “communism” so you have to wrap the concepts in cheese, metaphorically, while feeding it to them.

      We live in a democracy.

      We live in a plutocracy. Otherwise the Biden Admin would’ve ended all aid to Pissrael and the Trump Admin wouldn’t have gone to war with Iran. Otherwise the data center using 2x the energy of the entire state of Utah wouldn’t have been approved. Otherwise cannabis would be federally legal.

      We only have the illusion of democracy. Democracy theater.

      I mean this doesn’t just apply to horrible things right? Voters who support a candidate are responsible for their failures, dereliction of duty along with their successes correct?
