      If you don’t vote for them… They will lose…

      They’re not a hockey team where it doesn’t matter if you participate as a fan or not. If they don’t get votes then they don’t get political power.

        And what is the difference between them winning and losing? I’ve been voting for them for years and hating it every time and getting nothing but excuses.

          Them winning makes it harder for the Chuck Schumer’s of the world to come up with excuses for caving to Republicans. Simply electing anyone with a (D) behind their name isn’t sufficient, but it is a necessary step one of unfucking the country.

              Yeah, fair, but those are all step 2 problems. Like, Fetterman has been infuriatingly awful, but Dr. Oz would have been at least as bad.

            I’m frustrated. Democrats win and don’t get anything done because of republicans and then lose and don’t bother resisting the republicans.

            Republicans make things worse, of course , but democrats don’t or can’t make things better.

          The complete destruction of civil rights, a stable state, trade relations, diplomatic relations, the integrity of elections, the actual health if the nation, so on and so on.

            The complete destruction of civil rights

            We lost Roe under Biden’s watch

            a stable state

            The Memphis police department got COVID money from Congress that went into the pockets of the officers who beat Tyre Nichols to death on Biden’s watch

            diplomatic relations

            We torched whatever credibility we had left on human rights issues by arming Israel while they carried out a genocide when Biden was president

            the integrity of elections

            Republican led states passed tons of voter suppression laws while Biden was in the White House

            the actual health if the nation

            See my comment about the destruction of civil rights
