        I still don’t even fully agree with this.

        Democrats will give lip service about healthcare when they have no chance of passing it, then when they do, 20% of them will fuss over details, dooming it. But they won’t actively rail against healthcare measures or vote largely in favor of corporate-driven DOD spending packages.

        Most of their fault is in choosing not to fight Republican measures as hard as they can.

          They could have passed it, Democrats chose not to. Likewise with minimum wage, and much more.

          (look up the nuclear option. They never, ever need a super majority to pass a bill. Ever. It’s a parliamentary rule ONLY)

          Most of their fault is in choosing not to fight Republican measures as hard as they can.

          Your comment was edited, so I’ll address this sentence only. Democrats choose to accept money from “donators”, and in return they purposefully decide, by not challenging parliamentary procedure (which they do often otherwise), to let a bill die. Like, for example, minimum wage increase under Biden.

          His platform. They didn’t even pretend to fight. And by “fight” I mean change a parliamentary rule by majority vote to pass a bill.

          Did you know that voting for 99% Hitler over 99.5% Hitler still makes you a fucking Nazi?

              I do know that, Nazi.

              I just don’t give a single angstrom of a fuck why you think it’s worth supporting 99% Hitler over 99.5% Hitler. Because I’m not a Nazi, so I don’t care how pure the Hitler particles in the puppet of the bourgeoisie I have to see on Television are.

                  I think youre confused as to how voting works. You vote for someone. This means when you don’t vote for a candidate, that means they don’t get your vote! Pretty neat, right?

                    Understanding this requires more than a fifth grade social studies understanding of American politics. It also requires actually paying attention instead of just parroting vibes from YouTubers and Cable News, so you know that Blue MAGA will never understand.
