    I’ve been hearing these same bullshit claims for 50 years. Until the day the working class has the same political influence as a billionaire there is no democracy in this country. Stop protest voting for the duopoly and vote for something instead.

      OK Nero, you keep fiddling while Rome burns. That view from your moral high horse is going to do you a lot of good when you’re in a gulag for refusing to cheer for Dear Leader. A decade ago you might have had a point, but we’re well past the point where this is just a political disagreement, this is now an existential risk to US democracy. Keeping the GOP out of power is literally the only thing stopping the US from going to same route as 1933 Germany. For better or worse though instead of going war crazy they’re more likely to pull a Russia though and just cement themselves as the perpetual ruling class and begin looting and pillaging anything that isn’t nailed down. But you go ahead and keep voting for people that are mathematically incapable of winning an election. I’m just going to hope you’d be a MAGAt otherwise so at least your waste of a vote isn’t a net negative.

        That’s cute you think your party is gonna save democracy, the party thats sued to keep people off ballots, sued to keep RCV off ballots because ‘blacks are too ignorant to understand it,’ argued in court that voters have no choice who THEY choose as the candidate that they pick for their party. Refusing to allow a primary for their chosen candidate isn’t Democracy. The derangement here is BlueMAGA thinking they are the moral majority in preserving democracy.

        If Democrsts were sincere about keeping Republicans out of office then they need to vote 3rd party. If Biden can’t win without us you have the moral obligation to do the right thing and vote for West. But we all know Dems first goal is not keep Republicans out of power, as Pelosi said ‘we need a strong republican party,’ their only goal is to keep the duopoly as a whole in powet

              There is no way you’re serious, so you’ve got to be a troll. I’ve let you waste enough of my time. I’m done here.
