    Curious, what did republicans do, given they’re the alternative. Not voting isn’t a protest, it’s a scream to be ignored completely.

      You would obey every tape in a SAW movie and sacrifice all your fingers before you ever started looking for a loose window pane

      So what you’re saying “/u/stummies” is that if we didnt vote for Harris in the last election, who was annointed without a primary, who was on stage with a republican talking about her guns and praying, while also saying she wouldnt change any of Joe Bidens policies which were polling underwater even with Dems, whose mega-zionist husband guaranteed that not supporting Israel (antisemitism) needed to have “real consequences”… If you didnt vote for her you dont get to be part of the political process. Is that right? No one buys your diet fascism here. And you’re either a simpleton or a republican. Get off our lawn or shut the hell up. Take your pick. But you dont talk to us that way and you dont make any rules or demands of us.

          Well Harris sure as hell wasn’t going to get enough votes to win either, so did you refuse to vote for her too?

          “Why would I want to put an egg into boiling water? It’s not boiled after one second, so that means the boiling water does nothing. My only option is to eat it raw I guess, too bad. Hey stop trying to cook my food! We all know it doesn’t work since the food is not cooked the second it touches the stove!”

          So there’s this thing called “planning” and “long term thinking” you might want to try it some day. You know, instead of reactively screeching at the latest symptom of a system in decline, try to create something new. Now this might be shocking to you, but you actually don’t get everything immediately as soon as you start, things take time.

          Probably not many, because the Democrats fight against the parties that want to stop bombing kids. Maybe if voters like you would stop supporting the child-killers, and start supporting the anti-child-killers, they would start winning.

      Actually the alternative isn’t the republicans, but acknowledging this requires you to be able to think further ahead than the next electoral cycle.

      Are they an alternative it just another head on the same body? A hyperracist capitalist party is not a practical alternative to the hypergay capitalist party.

      If your vote is guaranteed you’re already being ignored completely. Why should Democrats listen to anything you say? They can do anything they want to you and you’ll beg for more.
