Voting matters. Y’all should grow up. Yes, voting doesn’t solve everything but it clearly matters.

    Iraq happened under Bush

    And the useless complicit fucks in the democratic party all voted for it. The president isn't king, I was very young at the time but I still remember every adult around me, even the so-called peace lovers, calling for the middle east to be nuked. I refuse to allow anyone to memory hole this.

    But just look at the anti-trans, anti-gay, anti-abortion legislation passing around in Rep states right now. Do you want that nationally?

    The last several decades have demonstrated comprehensively that what I want does not matter, as I am not in a position of power. You should instead be asking that question to the useless complicit fucks in the democratic party, because it would appear from their complete spineless inaction, nauseating displays of performative helplessness and seemingly pathological urge to please the fascists with needless 3/5ths-style compromises that they do, in fact, want that nationally.

      That’s a good point. The Dems are, I guess, as bad as the Reps on a lot of issues. But I don’t see any issue where they’re worse while there are plenty where the Reps are just outright evil.

        They don't need to be worse themselves when they just hand control over to the fascists at every opportunity. If there was a serial killer around, and I took people's donations promising to keep them safe, only to hand the gore-streaked maniac their housekeys as soon as I saw him, I would rightfully be convicted as an accomplice.
