The same democrats who did jack shit to Trump during their term, and lost to him just 1 term later, making him only the 2nd US president to ever win an election non-consecutively. Keep believing doing the same shit you did for years will eventually change something. I am sureee it will be different this time. You are arguing that 3rd parties will not win. How will they ever win, if nobody votes for them because they will never win? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] wpb@lemmy.world 13 points 9 months ago (1 child) It's like they get zapped with an amnesia ray right after every election, and are prohibited from reading about history. I guess four years is a long time and reading is hard. Better vote blue because who knows what might happen if you don't! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] monkeyjoe@lemmy.world 1 point 9 months ago Historical facts is a lie made up by leftists to sway voters away from the party that enables fascism. permalink fedilink source parent [–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 9 months ago https://jacobin.com/2026/02/democrats-ice-reforms-funding-bill/ nah the dems are totally working to stop trump by making ice more police like rather than doing anything to stop them permalink fedilink source parent [–] HasturInYellow@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago (4 children) How about "we hold them accountable or I literally don't want this country to exist anymore."

How about "voting for an establishment dem, who have shown repeatedly to be, by and large, aiding and abetting a fascist takeover of the country, would be the single stupidest thing you could do.

They didn't arrest Trump for breaking the law. They didn't keep COVID protections. They didn't keep abortion. They didn't legalize cannabis. They didn't push for any major changes to stop trump or another guy like him. But they gladly kept breaking the law for Israel's genocide. And to build the border wall Trump wanted. And to keep children in cages. And to find ICE. But sure, I'm sure next election we'll have a Democrat who actually changes things. For sure. I will just ignore every time I was told that for over 10 years of voting. permalink fedilink source parent
