    So you can demand better. But actually taking any concrete action to hold a party accountable when they ignore your demands is beyond the pale.

    Gotta love the “logic” of ShitLibs.

      Yeah that’s not what they said (nor implied) though, is it?

      You make the critical mistake in assuming that not voting for the Dems actually hurts them.

      I’d say they’re also happy to be in perpetual “opposition”.

      So really the only thing not voting is doing is saying that you want more dead children.

        I don’t care if it hurts them or not. I’m not voting for a lesser evil or a greater one. I’ll vote my conscience, and if more of you did we’d live in a better world.

        Fucking non-voters complaining why the democratic party doesn’t cater to their whims, never connecting that it’s because they don’t fuckin vote. But you don’t become a tankie through reason or logic.

          I vote in every fucking election. I am a former paid Democratic campaign staffer. I also will not cosign on a genocide nor will I vote for any candidate offering less than full-throatednsupoort for trans rights.

          I love being Schrodinger’s voter to ShitLibs like you though. Pick a lane: either my vote is worth enough that the DNC should have to earn it by stepping over a bar that’s on the fucking floor, or my vote isn’t needed and the DNC doesn’t have to cater to me. But if you’re telling me it’s my fault when the other capitalist shitweasels win, I’m gonna have to tell you it’s the fault.ofnthe party that doesn’t care enough about my vote to piss off their Wall St Paymasters to earn it.

            You’re an accelerationist, a lying ass tankie. You get republicans elected, you’re responsible for everything they do. You have more blood on your hands because of your ignorant principles. You help them kill trans kids. Fuckin worthless single issue trashbag MAGAt ass mindset. You work for fascists. Like a cop but somehow more stupid and useless.

        They should be thanking Clinton and Obama for creating the material conditions that made Trump and fascism viable in US electoral politics.
