Personally, I’m someone who accepts that for the foreseeable future only two parties matter and has been paying attention for multiple decades and actually bothered to look up both party’s voting history and know, as a fact, that Dems frequently vote in favor of the middle/lower classes, that our economy is always healthier under them, and that our rights are more secure.
So when it comes down to voting I always champion them because the only other viable option is fucking awful in comparison and I’m not stupid enough to waste my vote on a fantasy scenario that simply won’t happen.
So how do you make something happen if every person just says nah it can’t happen?
I’m pretty sure every major invention and advancement came because people said it can happen
No one thought the divine right of kings would end. But people got mad and changed it. It’s not even like we don’t have examples of better systems running concurrently with us. Having multiple parties is not that strange, almost every civilized country has it.
So if you keep sitting there saying this is the way it’s always been, so I won’t change, then yell st people trying to make change, you’re just being one of those people who hold everyone else back.
Fucking exactly. I was on this site a month before the election saying, “Why is she campaigning with Liz Cheney? Who is this for?” Of course, someone jumped in to explain how I didn’t understand that it was actually very smart, because each Republican that flipped was worth two votes, because Trump lost a vote and Harris gained a vote, and it was just good strategy, and blah, blah, blah…
Now that these arguments have been completely and devastatingly debunked, their proponents are looking for anyone else to blame: the handful of leftists who voted third-party or stayed home; the Arab and Latino Americans who didn’t know what was good for them; anyone who criticized their decisions or gave them anything less than their full-throated supprt. They weren’t warning them that their path was leading to their inevitable defeat! No, they must have caused their defeat! That has to be the answer, because the alternative would require self-reflection and change.

Now is the time. We’ve been selling this two party, lesser evil thing, my entire life. If you never make the leap you never get change.

Ok cool, except I’m not one.
Why would you even bother posting this dipshit response?
You’ve added nothing to the conversation other than to confirm you’re incapable of understanding basic concepts.
Posting the words “blue maga” in and of itself is a condemnation of your lack of intelligence.
Look, you helped israel genocide palestine.
You WON, you got what you wanted.
Stop trying to weasel out of your responsibility.
This is like yelling at a geologist after they warned about an earthquake.
No one wanted what the Dems were offering that’s why they lost.
