    You can be working towards voter reform and be voting for Democrats at the same time. They aren’t mutually exclusive.

      So your plan is to work towards voter reform while supporting the politicians that do not want voter reform?

        I’m sure some Democrats would like it, there’s people who run on that platform. It’s better than letting Republicans win at least.

                  Your solution is to support democrats, but only when they’re fighting progressives and supporting genocide.

                  No question mark.

                    Nah, that’s dumb.

                    I’ll vote Democrat to keep Republicans out of office, while doing things outside of voting to make real long term change. You know, things like voter reform. Just because they are both bad doesn’t mean I’ll just hand the reins over to the worst of them.

                    Seems a lot better than smugly looking down on people.

              No, I’m a communist that sees your parties from the outside, their differences are superficial and their similarities are vast

                “both sides bad” is such a juvenile take. It’s myopic. Yes, both sides are bad, but one side is clearly worse than the other. Not being able to handle that shows an inability to let go of binary thinking.

                There’s a difference between a stubbed toe and a broken leg, and looking down on people who don’t want a broken leg and are trying to keep the “break everyone’s legs” party out of power is just dumb.

                  It’s liberals with the binary thinking. There are no 2 sides bad because the US is run by one oligarchy, and it’s bad. There is no good shade of fascism.

                    Again, because you didn’t seen to grasp this, there’s bad, and then there’s worse. Yes, both are bad. We get that, you’re a good communist. But you don’t think that Mamdani is the same level of evil as Trump, do you?
