    It’s definitely not because the Democratic party is complicit in the oligarchy or anything…

    it’s voting, not marriage. you vote for the least harm to those you care about (or fucking should, duh).

    it’s not an ideological purity exam, it’s a multi-year term and then you vote again. vote the best option you have, otherwise we’re gonna have trumps forever.

    I cannot fathom how hard it is to get people to understand this very simple thing.

      I voted for Kamala

      Neoliberalism failing to provide meaningful positive change makes apathetic voters

      I can not fathom how hard it is to get people like you to understand that voters as a group do not and will never vote in their own self interests and logic. They vote with their feelings, and when nothing gets tangibly better under a leader, they vote them out.

          Does even less good to pretend like human beings will fundamentally change their individual behaviors en masse in between election cycles.

          Dems are supposed to be the educated ones, if they give a shit about winning, they would have learned this fact about voters and enabled meaningful change to happen.
