You're not a Progressive if you voted for Biden, dumbass.

Progressives aren't on board with his War Machine bullshittery, and neither are "right wingers".

This is the Machine.

This guy above is confused, as you are and you're all really in the same camp: The Unwashed Masses.

The trash heap is a swirl of red and blue. Really, it's a purple plutocracy.

You.... and the guy complaining about "Progressives" are both fooled.

Get UNfooled, cracka.

Funny, cracka being the only approved racial slur.

But it’s fine; lets have it in the open, we’ll only demand and enforce reciprocity.

And we are unfooled.

A mistake to take away the fig leaf of voting.

I’m sure you’re just a gem when it comes to persuading others to your point of view.

Berta, you knew you voted for a dumpster fire because you felt the other choice was a bigger dumpster fire.

This thinking is EXACTLY why we'll never get out of this loop.... too many people convinced to buy into mythology. I get it. I bought into it for a long time, too.

If you want progress forward, expecting it from people holding things back is nonsense. You have to take a risk with your vote. That means not voting Democratic party candidates.

You’re right. Can’t stand Biden but can’t stand Trump either and when I see the list of potential 2024 candidates , it’s just depressing. I keep hoping for some massive awakening of the population but it just seems the majority are willing to live life in an ever shrinking set of possibilities. To be honest, I don’t know the answer but for now unless something drastic changes, no more votes for mainstream democrats at the top unless the party remakes itself into one that serves the people and until the leadership changes I don’t see that happening.

What incentive do D's and R's have to offer anything better when you willingly vote for them, every time.

And if you don’t vote, they don’t care about that either

You're right, which is why not voting is a bad idea. Vote 3rd party even if they stink. If you must, write in someone. Several million votes for Boaty McBoatface would make a statement.

I think the only way any of this works is if it’s coordinated so it sends a message. As individuals, both parties can just ignore it. After all around 40 - 60% of people already don’t vote. As for third parties, it’s going to be hard because of who controls the media - although I think that’s changing and maybe it just needs the right candidate

There shouldn't be any voting for any incumbent.... ever. The political parties epitomize what personal destructive relationships resemble - one person abusing the other but expecting to be treated like royalty. Don't enable this behavior.

I think there are exceptions but generally that seems a good idea

I'm not trying to persuade anyone.

I'm just a gem.

Also... most people are shit-heels and I don't care. Really.
