And the Democratic Party responded with ...crickets.

Funny how its always about the Dems when voters did jack shit to stop the Republicans in the first place.

Hey USAian, out here in the rest of the world, we see your governing party going full fascist about the ICC, and your opposition party staying silent. And that's not fucking funny because it means this shit is the position of the sum of your political system. You want me to blame USAian voters? Sure whatever. But don't expect me to engage in your little intra-tribal blame game dance about Kamala in your last election.

It’s a systemic failure. A democracy where a third of the country doesn’t feel represented by their options (and thus chooses none) is not a functioning democracy, and that’s ignoring all the other shit going on with your voting system.

Of course we'd ignore the republicans. The dems are the only group we have any hope at all in ever working with, but they have to prove that they are even slightly on our side before we'll give them votes. The time of blindly trusting the DNC is long past. "Vote blue no matter who" is dead now and the centrists poisoned that well of solidarity we were all happily drinking from for so long.

Thats what being republican lite gets you, dont blame us for the DNC's bad choices. They started a genocide for some AIPAC money. They should count themselves lucky we will consider working with them at all anymore, because they cant win elections without their base, and their base doesnt beleive in supporting the war crimes regime in Israel, which the centrists refuse to disavow even now.

And I dont care if you like it. Your internet blame and outrage is meaningless to the rest of us. Not all of us embrace your sellout logic.
