It's pretty obvious what happens when you vote. Sure, the Democrats really only represent status quo. But by voting for them at least you don't regress into fucking fascism. It's been shitty and I really hope Schumer kicks the bucket already so we can get leadership in the only party that even vaguely resembles a functioning representation of a democracy. But the whole "VoTe YoUr IdEaLs" approach just results in.... regression. If you want your ideals to be represented then fucking run for office or be rich enough to splash large amounts of money and influence the vote.
