    Yeah, it’s totally our fault the Dems have to see how far right they can possibly get away with. And they just “aren’t for us” completely diminishes our issues. This is a problem created by the DNC, it is not created by the voters.

    Donald Trump was the DNCs fault for running a centrist, dirty candidate. Not ours for not falling in love with her. Your fucking guilting us into voting for a turd sandwitch is bullshit. Stop sucking.

    I have and will vote against Donald Trump, but I am not donating and making calls like I did for Bernie. Biden is a big pile of literally not Donald Trump, that’s all he is.

    The fact that you need grassroots help to win an election when you can easily represent a large majority of the voters by just representing the voters is your fault.

      You may have been taught in school that democracy is an ideal system. But when you become an adult you learn the truth about it. It’s not actually about getting the perfect person that everyone agrees with in power. Because that’s impossible, people don’t agree on anything.

      Democracy is really about preventing the worst people from having power. You will never be voting for someone that you 100% agree with because that’s impossible, no one agrees on everything. But it’s your duty as a citizen to determine who is are the worst people on the ballot and determine which way to vote to either remove those people from power or prevent them from getting it. That’s what democracy really is. Welcome to adulthood.

        Democracy isn’t about filtering candidates through one of only two viable parties that are both completely controlled by rich donors.
