abortion is effectively banned in the south and democrats have, by their own admission no plans to save roe so I’m going to need someone to explain to me why I should do anything for a democrat ever again as long as I’m alive. Explain it to me like I’m 5.— broke hilary banks (@man_respecter) April 28, 2022
The Democrats being outright hysterically hostile to anyone who mildly points out their inaction and negligence of the causes they aesthetically support, by telling them that they deserve suffering for not voting hard enough is one of the most psychologically bizarre ways of coping with the knowledge that the party they support is based on nothing, surviving on fumes and has nothing to offer anyone except an unfeeling empty void with motivation posters tacked around the edges of the void to make the descent into oblivion "not as bad".
I say "cope" an not "convince to vote" because its very obvious that the average Democrat isn't interested in any kind of political project but rather maintaining their own self-image of being "a good person" and their feelings of unwarranted moral superiority to anything that votes , lives or thinks "wrong".
Politically engaged Dems on twitter and in media are not interested in political change, they're interested in feeling superior to people who don't live their upper-middle class bougie life style and being beloved for their moral superiority and upper-middle class bougie lifestyle by the plebians they thumb their noses at.
They think that their threats will work. The only problem with a threat is that you have to back it up with something real.
"Vote for Democrats or things will get worse under the GOP"
This line only works if things don't actively get worse under Dem control as well.
I also like the line of "vote for Dems or 01/06 will happen again" like it wasn't a Dem getting voted in that was the issue for the rioters in the first place. January 6th literally happened and all Biden can do is call the people in the GOP who stoked the fire "good friends".

Also most people don't really give fuck about 01/06
