      That’ll happen when you give Democrats the presidency and a majority in Congress and all they do with it is issue blank checks for war instead of addressing the needs of the poor and working class.

      It’s a replay of 2016, when Hillary (and Obama before her) ignored the Rust Belt and it lost her the presidency.

        and a majority in Congress

        Democrats do not have a super majority, which is a problem thanks to the fillabuster. So the only branch of government the democrats have is the executive, which is not enough to fix things.

          If your reflexive response is: “But they suck too!” you should realize it’s not the fantastic defense you think it is.

        Failed Republican presidential nominees writing on artillery shells is the result of Democrats in the White House and Congress? Interesting.

          No.

          The bombs are the result of Democrats in the White House and Congress, seeing as how they’re the ones in power and they support arming a genocidal apartheid. What people write on them isn’t of any real consequence to me. I’m angry about the fact that we’re still sending them weapons.

            Why is it that you’ve never once said anything critical of anything from the right? I’d love an answer if you’re able.

            Because even on a post that’s specifically critical of the right, you do nothing but bring up Biden. That’s VERY curious.

              The evil of the right is self-evident.

              But I count it more evil to pretend one is progressive and then do exactly the same things the right-wing people are doing.

                  Not at all.

                  Democrats, by and large, don’t accept any criticism of their party, preferring instead to make excuses or feign powerlessness on the part of their elected officials. (They share that trait with Republicans, in fact.)

                  And then an instance happens where having the same position as the Republicans means you either have to accept genocide or pretend in your head that you’re still morally superior while the president you want us all to vote for sends the weapons over to make it happen.

                  It’s like that meme with the red button. Your cognitive dissonance is impressive.

                    See? This is where the problem is. Your inability to read for context, instead of fulfilling some need for your ideology to be correct- regardless of reality.

                    No one said you can’t or shouldn’t criticize the Democratic Party. This is a right we have and is necessary to exercise. The problem is- people like you seem to think that by criticizing YOU- and your decision to yell at people to not vote… is somehow a declaration to deny your right to criticize. Criticize all you wish- just don’t be foolish enough to think that not doing something (voting) will bring change. It’s a mistake that every generation seemingly always makes when they’re young. Mine included.

                    And note what is going on here. YOU seemingly whine that everyone is being mean to you, while you simultaneously accuse others of shit they’re not doing. And all the while- you assume no one notices this.

            Oh you’re saying the Republicans in power don’t agree with providing weapons to Israel?
