    Democrats don’t align at all not perfectly, not imperfectly, not just a little but zero

    a right leaning conservative religious Catholic with a prosecutor as vice does not align at all with progressive ideas

    how the fuck is Biden and Harris progressive?

    he sat back and asked for more donations while roe v wade fell

    does nobody remember him bitching he did not want his kids on the bus with certain other people

    what about the crime bills

    what about the recent right leaning immigration policies

    not being Trump is not progressive

    https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/biden-promise-tracker/?ruling=true

    nothing accomplished and Trump’s did not fare any better

    https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/trumpometer/

    The kind of blind support Trump and Biden have is how the US got to where it is today

    football politics with nothing more needed than a “D” or an “R” and pick a color “Red” or “Blue” and blindly shout how your team is better than that piece of shit other party that constantly tries to make sure your team loses

    too bad this election is already a lost

      It’s not blind support and you’re being disingenuous by calling it that. What’s being said is that, of the TWO choices we have at this point, Trump is absolutely the worse pick for any sort of progressive agenda. To go with the bus analogy, do you want to get on the bus that might head one block in the right direction when your destination is the next town over, or do you want to get on the bus going miles in the complete opposite direction? And keep in mind, you HAVE to get on one or the other bus.

      So what are you going to do? Sit out? Republicans winning pulls the Democrats further to the right - since the majority of the votes went to the right; it doesn’t make them think “by golly, most of the nation is to the left of us!”. The most progressive viable party receiving an unquestionable mandate from voters would pull them towards a more progressive position.

        not allowed to vote thanks to politicians like Biden so guess just have to walk to the next town myself

        and the only bus drivers people are screaming they want in the driver’s seat have reached the age their licenses should be suspended so might be safer walking anyway
