      I never said anything about who to vote for, but we all know the Democratic Party is a private institution that is not obligated to follow the will of its constituents. Just look at national public policy polling and where the party diverges. Look at how the party leaders ignore and work against massively popular progressive candidates like Graham Platner, Ilhan Omar, Abdul El-Sayed, Zohran Mamdani, etc.

      Do you honestly think they want to “win”?

      The Democratic Party exists as a honeypot to attract and neutralize progressive policies and politicians, and to ensure that the Overton Window of American politics never moves left. They are a right-wing party that runs cover for republicans. They don’t agree with you, they want to stop you.

          No, I think we should recognize party leadership as the enemy and treat them accordingly instead of pretending they’re inept or that they can be swayed to adopt progressive positions.

      Until we get a better democracy “don’t vote for a Democrat” only helps the fascists.

      Until we get better democrats, they’ll keep losing and you’ll keep acting like every last criticism of even the vilest behavior is telling people not to vote.

          those bad Democrats are why you have to support Trump, it’s not your fault

          Criticism of the genocide wing isn’t trump support just because you can’t bear criticism of genocide.

          We get it, you don’t care about trans people, or the complicit actions of the democratic party. That you have no problem with violence being carried out in your name to the point of mocking people who do care.

          Everyday I have more and more trouble in telling the fundamental difference between MAGA and someone like you. Someone who ignores reality, and make bad faith arguments. Throwing tantrums when their emotionally loaded arguments don’t work. Disgusting behavior you have displayed here.

          It certainly doesn’t make voting blue easier when it associates me with someone like yourself.
