    It really comes down to if you blame the scorpion or the frog?

    Both are responsible for the outcome imo.

    It’s in Republicans nature to be destructive and selfish. There’s supposed to be another party that meaningfully opposes that.

      They do meaningfully oppose that. If you realize that the worst of the party and Bernie Sanders and AOC aren’t the same fucking people. Aka if you realize reality exists

        One of those two people are democrats, and the democratic party actively fights progressives.

        Just look at how much more they fought that NYC mayor canidate who beat out the establishment favorite in the primary.

        The DNC continues to show it is an establishment party, people will continue to become disillusioned with them as long as they keep failing to make meaningful tangible change.

          Both of those candidates are Democrats for all intents and purposes. Vermont is an incredibly unique situation given that an independent has virtually no chance on any level anywhere else.

          If you can never miss an opportunity to generalize about the only group doing any damn thing good ever, you’re either doing it on purpose for a pro-republican reason, or you’re ignorantly shooting yourself in the foot. You’re actively discouraging votes.

          Which is it? Or do you just want to take this as another opportunity for an idiotic conspiracy theory about how AOC is actually fucking Alex Jones and is working to exterminate the Jews or some shit?

            You can’t accept that independent does not mean democrat.

            Process reality

            Internalize reality

            Until there are canidates who support the working class that are allowed to make meaningful change then people will continue to lose faith in the political process.
