claim 1: “voting doesn’t change anything”

Never forget the recent case of Kris Mayes, who refuses to uphold the Arizona supreme court’s sweeping ban of abortion.

Kris Mayes only won her 2022 election by 280 votes. Voting changes things.

claim 2: “but genocide joe”

Yep. Hold that fucker’s feet to the fire. He has blood on his hands

But trump has promised to be indisputably worse.

I won’t tell you how to vote. I just encourage you to vote. You’re not radical for ditching the only miniscule right the state has granted you to do some small aid for your neighbors.

    I do not believe that this can be adequately explained by incompetence. Democrats’ “incompetence” only benefits candidates to the right of progressives.

    That’s a consequence of a century of encroaching fascism and heavy right-wing framing. From the 1950s Red Scare all the way through today. Including Reagan’s terrorist assaults. It’s easily explained by Propaganda and incompetence.

    You’re young passionate and uninformed. I’m not going to hold that against you. Because that’s how we all tend to start out. And the first two are solid assets. However a failure to engage with the facts. An employee reasoning and understanding to learn. Could be something that people will hold against you in the future.

    Take it from someone who’s old enough to remember when drills telling you to hide under your desk to Shield you from an atomic blast were commonplace. Ignorance, incompetence and propaganda ran rampant. And you aren’t immune.

      So I guessed right when I guessed boomer. As though the condescension wasn’t a dead giveaway.

        Wrong as always. And I gave you more complements ironically than criticism or condescension. But you gotta be you. And you gotta be the victim just like the Magats. GL with that.

          You support the party because it opposes progressives.
