It exists because we have a shitty democracy in the United States that relies on the electoral college and first past the post voting.
It's also an organization comprised of thousands of local offices that you can go to today and start influencing. It won't be easy and it won't be immediate, but life is unfair and we have to fight to unfuck the mistakes of all our ancestors if we want to build a better world.
Until we get a better democracy "don't vote for a Democrat" only helps the fascists.
Until we get better democrats, they'll keep losing and you'll keep acting like every last criticism of even the vilest behavior is telling people not to vote.
😭😭😭 those bad Democrats are why you have to support Trump, it's not your fault 🤢🤮🤯🤯 Poor little guy 🤢🤧🥵 just one more voter suppression post and senpai trump will notice you 🥰😍😇😇
We get it, you don't care about trans people, or the complicit actions of the democratic party. That you have no problem with violence being carried out in your name to the point of mocking people who do care.
Everyday I have more and more trouble in telling the fundamental difference between MAGA and someone like you. Someone who ignores reality, and make bad faith arguments. Throwing tantrums when their emotionally loaded arguments don't work. Disgusting behavior you have displayed here.
It certainly doesn't make voting blue easier when it associates me with someone like yourself.
I'm sorry reality is too complicated for you. Keep living in your fantasy world where crocodile tears are enough to protect trans people and stop atrocities around the world.
Reality is what you care about? Because I have yet to see any evidence to that end coming from you. All I've seen is behavior that doesn't make me want to associate with you.
Criticism of the genocide wing isn't trump support just because you can't bear criticism of genocide.
I never said anything about who to vote for, but we all know the Democratic Party is a private institution that is not obligated to follow the will of its constituents. Just look at national public policy polling and where the party diverges. Look at how the party leaders ignore and work against massively popular progressive candidates like Graham Platner, Ilhan Omar, Abdul El-Sayed, Zohran Mamdani, etc.
Do you honestly think they want to “win”?
The Democratic Party exists as a honeypot to attract and neutralize progressive policies and politicians, and to ensure that the Overton Window of American politics never moves left. They are a right-wing party that runs cover for republicans. They don’t agree with you, they want to stop you.
Oh, you think voter apathy is an effective strategy for change. Have a good day.
