    if after *points to literally fucking everything we can’t get done, and are losing ground on" everything, you’re STILL not “blue-no-matter-who” you’re in league with the fascists, and garbage.

      That’s… that’s literally what they’re talking about. That, because we are forced to decide between two major parties, we have to “vote blue no matter who” in order to not get the worst possible deal.

      That doesn’t mean that Democrats are universally the good guys, it just means they’re better than the worst possible option.

      I don’t know about you, but I’d rather have another option.

      I think you are sort of missing the point. Currently Blue no matter what is sadly the best choice right now. Its clear we are seeing that democrats are 100% willing to screw over others to get theirs as well seeing as they are trying to block ranked choice voting, which is a net good thing. Its just straight up first past the post+ (FPTP+).

      Edit: This isn’t to advocate against democrats at the current moment because clearly Republicans are just worse in almost every fucking way but we need to be vigilant and its clear we need to fight for Alternative vote/Ranked Choice Voting since the other poster is right, right now Democrats are relying heavily on you have no fucking option besides us. So sit down and shut up and we will give you crumbs rather than the Republicans just shitting in your mouth calling it chocolate.

      When the alternative is “cut taxes, hurt people and burn it all down”, blue isn’t a great choice, but it currently is the only one.

      Fuck yeah

      This was a novel argument in 2016, by now we’re all wise to the “don’t vote, surely that will make things better” propaganda

        You can SAY whatever you want, but at the end of the day if you don’t vote Democrat then yes you’re a fascist and/or a moron.
