One more vote for the least bad option. One less vote for the worse option. The other idiots ballot was spoiled and so contributes to whoever wins. Our system sucks but it isn't that complicated. Too complicated for tankies and both sidesers though.

    And what did that accomplish? From what I see: absolutely nothing.

    You know what contributes more to the Republicans winning? The Democrats refusing to do what their voters want, on easy to win topics, and the Democrat voters pretending that they are worth supporting.

    How does your solution of letting republicans win benefit the people? Explain in detail with examples please.

    I didn't let the Republicans win, the Democrats did. They had the chance to run on popular policies that helped out the voters, but instead chose to support the Republicans, and help build out fascism.

    Here's a great example: Seattle raised their mimimum wage, made the rich pay more taxes, and helped Amazon workers fight back against Amazon, becuase we elected a Socialist who faught against the Democrats.

    The democratics are doing what their voters want insofar as they can without having any real power the last decade. What you're actually wondering if why the democratic party doesn't cater to the progressives and general public that don't vote in primaries or generals for democratics. But why would the democratic party cater to non-voters? They don't vote. May as well be republicans. You fix that by running progressives and voting in the democratic primaries. It's a pretty simple system. Too complicated for both sidesers though apparently.

    Well, no. None of that is true actually. They had plenty of power under Biden and Obama, but chose to screw over their voters instead of helping them out.

    What you’re actually wondering if why the democratic party doesn’t cater to the progressives and general public that don’t vote in primaries or generals for democratics. But why would the democratic party cater to non-voters? They don’t vote.

    No, I'm not wondering that at all. They don't cater to progressives and the general public, because their rich doners tell them not to. They also know that those people won't vote for someone who fights against them. To get more voters they could run popular policies that people like, and then actually deliver on them. Hell, there was a whole movement warning Harris that she was going to lose votes if she kept running unpopular positions, and she told them to sit down, and shut up. So she lost votes.

    If they delivered for the people, then the people would vote for them. You have your cause and effect backwards.

    May as well be republicans.

    So you think people who don't want the US to back genocide, and want policies that help the workers are just like Republicans? Because that doesn't make any sense.

    You fix that by running progressives and voting in the democratic primaries. It’s a pretty simple system. Too complicated for both sidesers though apparently.

    And what have the progressives accomplished? They've had power for a long time, and spent it all pretending that the Democratic leadership weren't horrible monsters.

    I want a party that fights for the people, not to keep the monsters in charge.

    It’s a pretty simple system. Too complicated for both sidesers though apparently.

    And yet you seem the be the one that doens't know how it works. 🙄

    Ok so you're clearly in bad faith because your first statement is demonstrably false. You're working for MAGA. That or you're actually stupid enough to just blatantly declare that you have no actual understanding of the structure and function of the federal government, but most likely you're another rusbot trying to discourage midterm turnout.
