it's good to look in the mirror and understand the material outcomes of voter behavior
I have problems with people who abstained. The hard thing is, how do you change voter behavior?
You're viewing part of a thread.
It really does baffle me that some people think a lack of an effort will bring about change.
Removing your support from a party you previously supported is an effort to bring about change. Evidenced by the democrats trying to figure out how to get people to vote for them again.
I bet you think divorce is a bad thing too.
Divorce isn’t something from nothing, so I’m not too sure what that false equivalency is supposed to do for you.
You cannot expect action from inaction.
Its the same type of situation: would you make the best of a bad situation or blow it up? Would you vote for the lesser evil or abstain/vote third party?
Voting for the lesser evil is a no brainer considering the threat America faced. In better times, I’d absolutely agree with the ideology.
Now is not those times.
Well with all the dramatic news stories and comments, you'd think the country already was burned to the ground. I'm getting exhausted of people jumping to conclusions and claiming what they think the consequences will be is a simple fact. Especially absurd when Trump changes his public opinions near daily.
I guess you never just ignored a toddler... lots of action comes from that inaction.
How are you enjoying the divorce so far? Got what you wanted out of it?
It wasnt a personal reference. The point I'm making is that it tends to be overwhelmingly bad relationships end in divorce, as they should. It would be awful if people were forced to stay in bad situations like that.
The democrats have a horrible relationship with their party members, and so many chose divorce, rightly so.
Yes, I know you still think this is about political parties. It was not then and it certainly is not now. It was about stopping America from becoming the one-party fascist state it has now become.
You can complain about the Democrats all you want. They are no longer an entity because there is only one legitimate political party in America right now- the one in control of all three branches of government that will never, ever give that up willingly.
So, again, I hope you got all you wanted out of the divorce.
So far so good.
Must be nice to have that white, cishet privilege.
I hope for your sake that you're Christian too.
Nope, just dont live in a state thats awful.
Oh really? Which of the 50 states do you think you'll be safe in over the next four years unless you're cishet, white and Christian? Do you really think Trump and his army of cops and enforcers care about state laws? Or any laws?
Well the DNC is now forced to either pull their collective head out their ass or destroy themselves in spite. We'll see how it goes.
You actually think the Democratic Party will ever have any real power ever again? Or any party other than the Republican Party?
You actually think the Republican Party will ever willingly give up power?
You still think these people give a shit about the law?
Amazing. Just amazing.
If you've given up so completely, why even bother to keep posting? The last thing we need right now is more pointless doomers.
Why on Earth do you think that acknowledging the reality that America is now a one-party fascist state is giving up? Do you think acknowledging that about the Nazis or the Italians was giving up?
Look back on the words you wrote. Those are the words of a quitter.
Well you clearly know Flying Squid better than I do since I had no idea he was a quitter. Please tell me more about Flying Squid.
Thank you for your confirmation.
Maybe you should give up on the democrats then. But its not their fault of course.
I would like you to find one shred of evidence that I was ever a Democrat or supported their party.
Then I would like you to explain why you think I give a fuck who's fault it is at this point.
Oh great I'll add that to the list of notes I keep about you. Very important stuff.
Why do people insist on lying to me about me? I don't get it. Do you think I'll agree with you that I was once a Democrat just because you declared it?
