    And there it is. The dumbest thing I’ll read all day.

    Let me know when the 2 party stranglehold allows you to vote it out. Until then you’ll sit high atop your bullshit mountain preaching on the internet, whining on and on about how things should be.

    Meanwhile, completely oblivious that you and people like you are exactly the reason why we don’t have enough voting power to enact real change.

    You don’t even irritate me. I pity you.

      Let me know when the 2 party stranglehold allows you to vote it out.

      You’re the one insisting I don’t have a choice here. Why should anyone bother helping reinforce a system designed to disenfranchise them? To keep the “wrong people” from taking power, as if that wasn’t already the case?

      If that sounds like Accelerationism to you, then you’re reading me correctly. Preservation of the intolerable status quo only delays and inflames the inevitable upheaval.

      Meanwhile, completely oblivious that you and people like you are exactly the reason why we don’t have enough voting power to enact real change.

      Oblivious?

      No, I’m counting on it. The Democrats won’t change unless they have to, and people like me are the ones they need to change for. People like you, who “vote blue no matter who”, can be safely ignored by party leadership since they know you’ll vote for them anyway.

        Well unlike you suggest, I don’t vote blue no matter who, I vote blue because the other choice is demonstrably worse.

        You wax eloquent about how things need to change and so you choose to do nothing, but what happens when you recruit enough lefties to your side that the right is able to establish the equivalent of a dictatorship via voter suppression, coups, etc? What then? At that point you are 100% fucked.

        Are you one of these idiots who actively want a civil war? Because if so you can give that idea up, it isn’t going to happen.

        You are the equivalent of an old man yelling at clouds to change their shape.

        You say nothing ever changes, but it already has! Biden, while being not nearly the lefty I would like him to be, has done a fantastic job compared to what I expected. It may or may not occur to you that Biden so far has governed much more left that Obama did.

        Things do change, they just take time.
