      Nope, stopped voting for them after Obama, which in retrospect, he and Clinton were big mistakes. Voted Green party. I can walk away knowing I did not vote for a pro-genocide, anti-worker party.

        Great work!?!? Atta boy!?!? What are ya looking for here? The world is burning and you didn’t bother to do the one small thing that could have made a difference, and you think that’s something to brag about?

        Over 10,000 people have died so far just from USAID cuts, and another 23,000 from the PEPFAR funding freeze. Those numbers alone are ticking up faster than the Gaza death toll,which is still happening BTW. But, not to worry, Rodneyck kept his integrity, and that’s what’s really important.

        Politics is about achieving the best possible outcome, not making personal virtue statements.

          I’m glad you’re conscience is clear, as you most likely won’t be allowed to vote in the next election at all. Congrats you won!

            I can’t imagine how you can see Democrats lose or nearly lose three elections in a row to Trump and come away thinking that they aren’t the problem. Your blind allegiance to party over policy is the reason why Trump is yet again sitting in the oval office.

              to be fair the gop also has significant help, in the form of propaganda and voting mahcine rigging too, plus voter suppression. nobody was willing to question the machines being rigged.

              It’s not “allegiance to the party;” that’s a fucking lie. It’s understanding of game theory and harm reduction.

              Quit your bullshit.

                “Harm reduction” is hilarious. It’s like you’re channeling your inner George W. Bush while talking about “enhanced interrogation.”

                What does game theory tell you about a strategy that’s failed nearly three times in a row and given us Trump as president twice with all branches of government now being controlled by Republicans?

                It’s absolutely all about party allegiance when you refuse to even face the reality of our situation and want to attack those who refuse to bury their heads in the sand. The Democrats aren’t the good guys. 🙄

          What we need is a real worker’s party, but the system is so corrupt, bought and paid for by big everything, corps/banks/pharma/Israel, it would take a miracle. The only way I see it happening and gaining strength is when the uni-party system goes too far. They both want a fascist state because they both are for big business who want us all as slaves. Break the oligarchs and restrict their companies and maybe we will have a chance, else buckle up.

            the worker’s party is already here and the uniparty system will falter when it goes so far that the masks of deniability and respectability are unable too keep covering it. the oligarchies have successfully lobbied for laws and manufactured narratives that leave us w no viable alternatives besides buckling up; it’ll behoove us all to be mentally prepared for it sooner rather than later.
