    Look, if you truly can’t tell the difference in policy between Republicans and Democrats, then yes maybe you shouldn’t vote. One can only bring the horse to water.
    I’m just sick of people giving me shit for attempting to stop fascism from taking over my country, when they themselves refuse to lift a finger to do it, people like this mouthbreather telling me “I’m glad you’re suffering” when in real life we’re all suffering. Like somehow all these people think the suffering the fascists cause is going to be confined to only those of us who voted democrat. So fucking frustrating, I have zero pateince for this shit, especially because the reason this shit is happening is because the left in this country refuses to fucking vote.
    I’m serious. Why did Biden support the genocide? Because leftists refused to vote. Why did Trump send thugs to kidnapp people in the street? Because leftists refuse to vote. Why did Trump cut USID and thereby starve millions of children to death worldwide? Because leftists refused to vote. Why is did Trump invade Iran and start WWIII? Because leftists refuse to vote.
    I just want to see leftists in this country fucking do something instead of standing around acting superior to everyone else.

      What? I did vote. For Jill Stein.

      Voting for democrats categorically is not “attempting to stop fascism” any more than supporting the Weimar Republic was “attempting to stop Nazism”. They’re weak, corrupt, feckless, and ineffectual. Their corporate-owned neoliberal politics and suppression of leftwing populism paves the way for fascism’s inevitable rise through rightwing populism.

      Didn’t read the rest of whatever you said there. I’m not really interested in addressing your Blue MAGA meltdown or reading about how you’re sad that people give you shit for supporting an avowed genocidaire.

      You may view Dems as being an obviously-better option than Republicans. I do not, so if you do not convince me otherwise, I literally could not care less if your party continues losing.

      Run better candidates if you want to win. That’s how democracies work, right?

        Which is why Trump is now president. Good job bro.

        Didn’t read the rest of whatever you said there.

        Yeah I’m not suprised. Heaven forbid a leftist acknowledge criticism or some shit. I mean you’ve read every book on theory that exists so obviously you must be right about everything.
