    So would you have us vote for Trump?!?! I’m not sure of what your solution is.

      Vote third party or dont vote unless the dems get their shit together. Thats the only thing that gets them to do anything. Failing that nothing will change, you can wring your hands and lament the current state of affairs, but the only thing that makes any material difference is in how you vote.

      The real solution of course is communist revolution, so get organizing with others in order to mitigate the effects of the current slide into fascism, but if you keep voting “blue no matter who” you have effectively given up on representative democracy.

        Oh you are a silly sausage aren’t you?

        Either genuinely deluded or genuinely disingenuous.

        If there wasn’t the massive existential threat of Christo-fascist authoritarian rule in the US then I might say ok, sure, go ahead and vote for a third party.

          How do you think this plays out? The republicans aren’t going to run anyone better, so the dems only have to run someone who isn’t openly as bad as their candidate since people like you will vote for them anyway. They are ineffective in stopping the christofascism, they are not a neutralization of that threat, the last 4 years have made that very clear.

          And they never will be unless you give them a reason to get to work. It will continue to get worse if you keep voting them in, it just does not work. They have to change but they wont unless there is a reason to.
