That's your excuse? Seriously?
"Shame people didn't vote Dem 20 years ago, the gop wouldn't be around!"
"They did"
"Yeah, but 9/11 had happened only a decade earlier"
excuse? Hope maybe but now I doubt it with young boys being Tate trolls.
Naa country hadn’t healed yet for 10 years after. Now? I dont think 911 is a factor but nation has other issues made apparent by Trump.
the islamophobia of the 911 years obviously never went away because we have done multiple anti-muslim genocides and killed millions of muslims since and learned nothing
Yeah I think you are right there but I want believe the sacrifices made for "security" are wearing thin. Wanted to talk about privacy rights 16 years ago and they call you traitor. Least fox news would which is what I watched at the time.
So why did you say "Soooo Dems won’t make it better but least won’t make it worse. If 2 party then easy choice.
Shame people didnt do this 20 years ago and voted gop out of existence."?
Cause people keep hating on dems instead of seeing dems for what they are. Opportunists Lesser evils than also need to be removed. But GOP is worst they need to go first. We need Truce with dems until gop is gone. then let's go tear them apart. But people keep getting angry and shocked at dems bs and then refuse to vote and let gop win. Which is arguably worst outcome.
At least vote third party people!
Wrong. Aligning yourselves with the "lesser evil" makes you evil as well and compromises your entire project. When you work with the billionaires you don't have the wheel. You will do their bidding and be smeared for their actions. The only way to defeat the two party system is to attack both parties simultaneously, otherwise you are only reifying it by participating in the back-and-forth stalemate
Thats a interesting opinion. romance of three kingdoms approach. Seems way harder than what i want to do which is use dems to crush gop then beytray DNC. Fighting 2 entrenched enemies instead of one seems like a a rough idea to me. If your strategy is to promote third party im afraid that's a hard one to pull off but I support it.
You don't use the Dems, they use you. The capitalists who own the party have complete control over it, it's a private corporation. You have absolutely 0 chances of taking it over or using it to your ends.
Also have you seen the Democrats dawg? They have like 20% approval rating, they are the most hated "brand" in the entire country. In what way do you think they could ever "crush the GOP"? It's laughable.
Good luck convincing the Democrats to agree to a truce.
that's everyone frustration. Dems betraying progressives. Its like dealing with loki vs Thanos. Have to use the dnc to maintain status quo so we can promote progressives in meantime. Gop will just push further right and ruin gains.
Democrats also seem perfectly happy to push further right
Yes but in baby steps versus gop "ill ship you off world!" If dnc start pushing stuff like anti gay or anti science agenda then country is f'd and we need to get old faithful out for watermelon cutting or start plumbing services. Cause now im convinced there is no peaceful solution.
The DNC is pushing the wholesale extermination of an entire nation in order to expand a fascist ethnostate, but "anti-science stuff" is your line?
I mean. You expected better of them? For some reason dems and gop sux Isreal hard. Probably the nice donations. I know Booker got 1 mil.
If 2 products have the same calories then you check the next line. Like sugar to see which is better. Its the same with the gop and dnc. Both sides are the same there so have to look at other topics. Don't tell me its cold as f$#! I know that. Which is why I want dems to get theirs but we need gop out first to stop the major pushes right.
No, but you seem to not be bothered by it.
Unless they're anti gay or anti science? You said that was a line for you
