The empire has weaponized the insight that the only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing, so spreading awareness of the reality that the Democrats are not good people and are not doing good things helps take away that weapon.
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
Yes. It is.

Literally more than 50% of Americans do not trust their government and trust in the government has been trending down for the last several decades. 68% of Americans say that they want more viable parties than those that are currently available (viable meaning actually electable). They also by an overwhelming majority want term limits and other checks and balances placed on politicians that hold office because they are aware the system is broken.
Americans trust in news media is also at an all time low and the vast majority of Americans do not trust the media.
So, it’s great that you want to try to wrap this up in a neat little bow where we blame constituents rather than the system, but you’re still wrong.

So you think a system where only two private parties can ever even have a chance isn’t to blame?
Ok. Thanks for that.
You offered no counterpoint. You told me I’m wrong but didn’t codify even a single suggestion. You just gave polling numbers. I also don’t feel like my government represents me. I still vote even though I know it’s a sham. Weird hill to die on. I think you sounded a lot more heroic in your own head.
You really owned me there. /s
Yes because the system is literally rigged to be that way, not because of voters but because of literally politicians and rich people/corps. I offered a counterpoint you literally just don’t like it and either didn’t read or don’t care.
It’s strange because you offered a “counterpoint”. Where you think you’ve refuted something I said. I read everything you wrote multiple times and nothing you said goes against anything I said. You really should read back. I agree with you but you phrase it as if you’re surprising me with some new facts. These are facts I know and used to arrive at my conclusion that we can never have true democracy until we get out of this two party system which will OBVIOUSLY not be solved by participating in that same sham system.
