    And all of these “vote-blue or die” people are the reason the Dems are totally fucking useless and only pretend to care.

    Protip, you can still vote blue while still they are totally fucking useless clowns, sucking their dick while you do it doesnt change anything.

      Lol bro, go ahead and don’t vote then. Maybe if we let the GOP win all three branches uncontested for the next century and they dismantle education, gerrymander or just outright remove fair elections, and kill the planet with climate change, then people will feel really bad and adopt your politics. It’s worked so many times in the past.

      Also there’s a difference between valid criticisms of the Democratic Party and this post which is demonizing them on the same level as the GOP simply because Democrats spent money on their border patrol. As if Obama or Biden were the ones who introduced Alligator Alcatraz.

        You’ll get the policies you want either way.

          I literally just listed multiple progressive policies the Democrats passed. Still waiting for someone to provide one example of how not voting has helped anyone. Amazing how privileged and dumb your take is, although ultimately I guess it doesn’t matter because you’re basically proud of being completely inconsequential.

            Ok. You started with Supreme Court that only ruled on gay marriage because the cowardly legislators we vote on were too scared of or complicit with bigots to actually pass on their own.

            Obamacare was a heritage foundation policy that the worthless corrupt democrats watered down, but it’s the last thing of any consequence your party passed and you and the rest of the centrists have been coasting on being able to pass republican policy ever since. Great “work”.

            And that was it. Two things. Taking credit for the judicial branch and touting republican policy as a huge win.

            Now tell us how you idolize ICE some more.

              You realize Supreme Court justices are still the products of elections, right? People elect Presidents who appoint Supreme Court Justices. Obergefell v. Hodges was a 5-4 decision, so if just one of those Justices was not appointed, then the decision fails.

              It’s funny how you’re trying to hand wave away policy that helps millions of people while the only alternative solution you’re offering is to not vote for the left wing party in a two-party system.

              Now tell us how you idolize ICE some more.

              Find me one country in the world that does not have a border patrol agency or does not spend money on border enforcement. Valid criticisms of ICE would be pointing out how differently it operates under different party administrations.

              I have now realized as I login to this account on my computer instead of phone that this is lemmy.ml post and I’m talking to Tankies. I don’t respect your opinion and think you are a joke so I’m going to stop engaging further. If you live in the US then congratulations on having on zero impact and unquestionably worsening your own life. If you don’t then I assume you are a bot. And in either case to become a Tankie you pretty clearly have failed on quite a few levels in your personal life, so for that you have my condolences.
