    I understand which party has the power to get things done. And I understand when one party is ineffective at fighting back and should be abandoned for a party that can fight back. You’re stuck in the 2 party mindset. There are numerous other political groups in the US. You could be supporting a labor party, an environmental party, a civil rights party, etc. but instead it’s always “R is evil, so you need to vote for a D, otherwise BOOGYMAN!”. Or how about we empower the other political parties and start having real nuanced political discourse?

    Because Us vs Them is a hell of a lot easier.

    Bitch and moan about your ideals all you want. The reality is the Rs win, the Ds lose, and the Ds just keep whining that the means ol Rs are stopping them instead of changing tactics and listening to constuents who are tired of out of touch old white guys deciding the future of our country. The Democrat party suffers from a serious image issue and this constant “well vote for us anyways” just becomes pathetic over the years.
