LOL. You're fucking amazing. You came to the conclusion that voter turnout programs only exist because they want voters to vote for them but literally won't do anything that those voters want? That's your conclusion? You couldn't reason your way out of a paper bag. Which makes sense because you think an American who has been raised by Americans in America and consumed all the same anti-Russian propaganda you have consumed our whole lives is somehow having someone else's thoughts when they have thoughts that disagree with the propaganda you and I have both been raised on. You are doing the meme.

    If Dems primary concern is the will of their voters then why are they constantly doing things the majority of their voting base disagrees with? You're acting like Dems know exactly what the people want when the central political problem in America for the last 15 years is that they either don't know or don't care.

    Also, if your own thoughts are not Russian propaganda then why is what you're saying matching Russian propaganda word-for-word? Disbanding NATO doesn't help anyone but Russia and somewhere in that brain of yours you know that. You're twisting words to make unreasonable things sound reasonable on both of these issues

    Oh, sorry, so you're saying Dems are constantly doing things their voting base disagrees with? So then why should people vote for them? You're not making a strong argument for your position there.

    You think Russian propaganda is the only source of anti-NATO sentiment in the entire world? Have you heard of Heusinger? Are you aware of the controversial decisions to staff NATO with Nazi officers? Heusinger was never even tried at Nuremberg.

    Pretty sure it would've helped the Libyans if the "defensive" alliance that waged an offensive war on them didn't exist.

    NATO is a tool of neocolonialism and there are countless neocolonies around the world that it harms. Even if it were "defensive" (which it absolutely isn't) it maintains an oppressive status quo over the global majority and gives member states the ability to attack wantonly, without fear of retaliation.
