I received my ballot a week ago and I couldn’t bring myself to fill it out yet. I’m scared of another Trump presidency if that is what happens, but I can’t keep supporting Democrats that have become what they claim to hate. I know if I vote for her that I’m sending a message that they can keep using the same playbook to move closer to fascism and corporatocracy.

They use their influence & power to eliminate opposition, and their donor money to astroturf social media. They censor other voices online, and spread lies about other people (Jill Stein) without evidence. They gaslight and claim you’re fascist for telling the truth and blame others for their mistakes. They’ll use your money to pay for genocide while turning a blind eye to help themselves, but make a thousand excused why they can’t help you.

They don’t deserve to win. Trump will be bad and I’m scared about what will happen if he wins, but you and I are not to blame. All they had to do was be truthful, transparent, empathetic and genuine—but their lust for power got in the way.

    It is math and logic. Humans are really bad at this and that’s how we get to where we are now. You are a good example and I think your arguments stand to show why.

    Good luck with your democracy.

      How’d that math (your bias) and logic (your emotions) work out for you?

        The math and logic went as expected. Fools like you all over the country made ignorant selfish decisions, and here are the consequences.

        I’m so confused why you’d bother to waste your time on a “gotcha!” With a stranger on the internet. But it shows how vain you are, so I guess that tracks.

          You’re right about one thing, it went exactly as expected. The blame-anyone-but-ourselves Democrats will learn nothing from this and in 4 years you’ll be making the same mistakes that got you here.

            What mistake are you referring to? Bothering to respond to you? I’m only human.

              I’m referring to pretending Kamala was a saint and blaming others for why she lost. Want to be mad at someone, then be mad at her.

                Are you mistaking me for someone else? I assume you are in a whole ton of internet arguments right now, but maybe check who you are responding to (and where, I just made the same mistake trying to respond to you)

                  You’re the one who said I’m really bad at this and the reason we got here and that fools like me made ignorant selfish decisions. The irony.
