DEMOCRATS FAKE & BAD
VOTING BAD
EFFECTIVE OUTREACH BAD
NEWSOME BAD
NO CONSTRUCTIVE EFFORT GOOD
Where's your better candidate doing shit to beat MAGA? Where's your hard work to get them onto & through primaries onto the ballot?
Getting more progressives in office doesn't start with "not voting". It ends with voting for them when you produce a better candidate & get them on the ballot.
Bitching alone doesn't magically get better contenders to materialize on the scene to beat your opponents & win your causes. Show us a better alternative worthy of a coalition, and do the hard work of building that coalition around them.
MAGA did the hard work. They infiltrated all levels of government, all legislatures, executive posts of several states. They built coalitions from the bottom up.
The left will need to do at least as much work.
You could elect dems across the board and they will still be bought by AIPAC, there will be an unsustainable ecomony, and people will still need to lose civil rights to support the growing wealth inequality gap. The US as we knew it is over. Trump is just a symptom of a problem that has been getting worse for decades.
then...why bother posting online complaining about it if the entire thing is a such a waste of time?
