This guy tries to push so much propaganda it’s making me sick
they will wisen up sooner or later, they can’t be all down with the evil committed in their name
I too enjoy a good strawman meme intended to deceive cultists and naive boomers.
“Just vote Dems one more election”
“Just one more lane”
Just like more lanes, more dems don’t fix the underlying problem.
It doesn’t, but for me anyway, the implications of another Trump presidency or Republicans controlling both houses are terrifying.
People can live with some traffic or construction woes as we struggle for a better transportation system.
There are real differences between Republican and Democrat control that will have serious impacts on healthcare, climate change, and the courts, on top of the awful shit that both parties do.
I hate that I’m voting the way I am because I’m more scared of one candidate than the other, but each year is crucial for climate change, and 4 years of a gutted EPA is reeeeeeaaaaallllly bad.
And the Dems will not save us. They will not do what is necessary, ever, because they are funded by similar to even the same groups.
If the Dems will not and cannot save us, if we have a gaping bullet wound and all they can offer is a wet band-aid, then we must find another solution.
Sure, they’re not some savior, but they won’t gut the EPA, the might not replace Laila Khan, they won’t continue to fill the courts with extremely right-wing judges which will take decades to overcome, they might be able to replace Chevron deference with legislation, and they might be able to put some protections into place for abortion access and healthcare for trans people.
Our voting system is first past the post which means there are only two political parties, Republican or Democrat. If you happen to like the Republican or Democrat congratulations you get to actually vote for someone. For the rest of us our only option is voting against someone. If you hate the Republican more vote Democrat. If you hate the Democrat more vote Republican. If you don’t actually care whether the Democrat or Republican wins you can abstain by either staying home or voting 3rd party, the outcome is identical either way.
If you don’t like this there is exactly one solution and that’s supporting efforts to get rid of first past the post voting, anything else is useless.
If the Dems will not and cannot save us, if we have a gaping bullet wound and all they can offer is a wet band-aid, then we must find another solution.
I’ll take the wet bandaid over the guy reloading to finish the job thank you very much.
Meanwhile the other option is to blow up all the roads with zero plans on what or how to replace them.
Their suggestion, as the Russian trolls endorse, is to vote for anyone except Harris.
Are the Russian Trolls in the room with us?
Yes, just as Muslim activist groups and Palestinians have been suggesting, I will be voting for PSL.
You’re also ignoring the bit where I said revolution is necessary.
For the election? PSL or Greens.
To fix the mess the US is? Armed revolution.
Organize, join a political party relevant to your area.
Name a single PSL or Green candidate that is running for an office besides the presidency. Oh what’s that? You can’t without looking it up? Gee, doesn’t sound like you’re at all in tune with local politics which is the only place a third party could grow from. It sounds like you just want to whine without offering any real solutions.
