    The Democrats hand power back to Republicans

    Only because idiots like you don’t vote.

    Democratic strongholds are making massive gains on climate change. Look at California. That’s what happens when we get a democratic supermajority.

    The federal government has had a Democratic supermajority exactly once in the past few decades. For a few months. And they used it to get us the Affordable Care Act.

    Biden got the IRA done without a supermajority, but he’s a brilliant politician.

    You fuckers keep claiming democrats are ineffective or colluding or something but you haven’t actually given dems a chance to fix anything yet.

    Give us a democratic supermajority for 8 years and you’ll be amazed at what gets accomplished.

      Every assumption you just made was incorrect. But if you’re going to start with name calling, then this isn’t going to be a productive discussion.

        If someone has decided voting isn’t worth it to the point that they’re trying to convince others not to vote, they’re generally too stupid and emotionally invested to change their mind. Or they’re a shill.

        This discussion (and name calling) isn’t for you. It’s for the audience. People feeling hopeless and powerless who might buy into the “don’t vote” bullshit. Voting matters.

          You just called me an idiot who doesn’t vote after I suggested for whom you should vote. What will your vast audience think of that?

            Voting 3rd party is effectively the same thing as not voting. I mentally tend to consider those as the same thing. But yes I should have clarified that.
