    Wanting representatives who represent people isn’t burning down anything.

    Fuck off with this capitalist bootlicker rhetoric

    You sound like a domestic abuse victum that thinks if they behave then the abuser will go easy on them next time.

    It’s a toxic way to approach politics, and is desigend to keep you fighting your neighbors instead of your leaders.

      If only the meme said anything resembling that.

        Voting for democrats who then capitulate to fascists leads to the overton window moving to the right.

        Most Democrat voters don’t want that to happen.

        That means they are not representing their voters.

        I’m sorry you have a hard time engaging with reality. It must be really hard to make sense of the current landscape through the Neoliberal bootlicker lense

          not voting for democrats makes it likelier for republicans to win, thus moving the overton window even farther right. Your frustration should be with people who think voting is the only action you can take, not with people who use voting as one of many actions that should be taken.

            You need to internalize the fact that young and leftist votes did not meaningfully impact the election.

            If you want to attack the people who voted for Biden but stayed home for Kamala, those were white boomer/millennial men/women and boomer/millennial hispanic men.

              Because they don’t vote meaningfully, yeah. That’s the point. I dunno where this strawman defector angle comes from.

              The much bigger issue is the people who aren’t voting at all, or casting a performative 3rd party vote in districts where it accomplishes nothing.
