Their entitlement, alongside their little purity test cost us not only our democracy

so, people who aren't content with atrocious (when, don't they know that it could be cataclysmic???) are a sizeable enough population that they can sway elections... yet, seemingly, it's not worth it for democrats to cater to them by not being atrocious? which is it?

you talk of effort and sacrifice. for what? voting? calling people dumbasses on the internet because they checks notes express empathy for those who refuse to settle for eternal mediocrity?

"is it so hard to understand that trump is worse" is it so hard to understand that people who see other people being bombed, forests burning, rights taken away, and their lives getting steadily worse, under liberals and conservatives alike, are not gonna fucking bother at some point? people are not game theory machines, "your life gets worse" vs "your life gets worser", despite having an obviously correct answer, is not a motivating choice, what a surprise

if you believe in saving democracy so much, demand more out of your elected officials instead of demanding less of people who are tired of suffocating under the boot. but, maybe that requires too much effort, and involves too much sacrifice, idk
