Yeah well, what are you gonna do? I'm sick of people playing right into the right's playbook by constantly beating the dead horse that Dems Are Bad, like everyone doesn't know it! You're not dropping truth bombs you're pointing at the blue sky and acting like it's a new color.

Yeah, fuck the Democrats for being spineless assholes who are, like you said, barely better than Republicans, but the solution is to Not Vote? That's somehow revolutionary? The 30 something percent of people who didn't vote last election weren't just letting Trump win but were, in fact, based and communist?

People complain about moderates thinking both sides are equally good but then act like they are politically enlightened when they say both sides are bad.

They tell you you're in favor of genocide when your choices are the Shoot People party and the Shoot WAY More People Party, like you've got an option.

Oh, there's gonna be a revolution? We're going to take up arms and tear down the system? Well we certainly can't vote while that's getting ready Any Day Now, and I'm sure that'll happen before November.

So no, I'm not some head in the sand die hard Democrat. I don't think they exist, much less on Lemmy. I'm not suddenly surprised that both sides are corrupt. But I'm not so blind that I'm going to just let Republicans roll into office without some sort of fight and the wet noodle that's the Democrats is what we've got.

You want better? Vote in the primaries, focus on local shit people ignore, and if you want to actually put your money where your mouth is, YOU run for office and actually take some power into your own hands.
