Democrats now have a majority in Congress, but we can’t forget that they’ve held it before, and our lives only got harder. All they want from us is a vote, then silence until the next election. (tankie.tube)

Still, it must be better than Trump administration

    That is hard to predict if a democratic president will be better, other than a sense of national normality. There are some weird national changes I do not understand; and future democratic governments may decide to ignore or even embrace.

    The Trump years did not occur out of a vacuum. There are very real forces that are shaping a collapse of the federal government, beyond who is in the white house

    Economic base of society reproduces certain behaviors in our cultural/ideological superstructure. You want to manage the symptoms, I want to cure the disease.

    Well, let me know when you deploy the cure! Until then, symptoms should be managed, yes?

    How fucking telling of you LMAO

    You really are outing yourself as admitting doing nothing but voting. You can wait decades but when criticized or alternative methods are brought up, you demand instant results. Because in reality, you only care about yourself and white people.

    When did I say voting is the only thing I do? I'm saying that voting helps, and Republicans are allowed power, they make things much, much worse.

    They actually sell scarecrows, they might be more receptive to your strawmanning :)

    Hey, you haven't answered my question from another reply to you. Since you demand answer all the time, I will do the same.

    Do you think accepting genocide is worth it for voting in Democrats?

    What do you do? When people criticize the democrats for its genocidal ambitions, them becoming openly transphobic and passing anti-trans bills while refusing any taxes on the wealthy. Who say that medicare for all is not going to happen.

    When people do that criticism, you start yelling and crying, defending them like the valiant warrior you see yourself as.

    According to you, my daily routine is do genocide, hate my trans friends, give money to the wealthy, declare Medicare for All won’t happen, LARP as a valiant warrior.

    Well, you sure seem to support that. You're still dodging my question: Do you think accepting genocide is worth it for voting in Democrats?

    Then, when the cognitive dissonance makes them angry, I receive insults, and use the negative energy to craft little gems I sell on Etsy.

    Christ the smug reddit-speak. More proof that you are a shitlib who will defend genocide in exchange for treats within your borders.

    And I asked you to clarify what 93% is in how many people. 93% of what, 100 thousand? 1 million?

    Again, I ask you to please answer: Do you think accepting genocide is worth it for voting in Democrats?

    Once again, if both sides are the same, why do you think 93% of black women who voted went for Democrats?

    Of those that voted, voting for democrats. Then it's because one is openly racist while the other "promises" justice.

    Not knowing that again, democrats are the smiling fox that has sprung a trap. They're both awful and your sick "country" needs a revolution, not rooting for this stupid voteball game every 2 years.

    If I must answer questions you assigned to me via strawman, I have always been anti-genocide. Republicans aren’t better for a Free Palestine.

    Right, because genocide wasn't extremely escalated under Biden? Which democrats suppressed pro-Palestine protesters? Who think that "Israel" has a right to defend itself? The dems are hardcore zionists who want back their custody of the genocide. How are you this dense not to realize?

    I'll let the reformists do the reforming. And I'll be there every step of the way to point out when those reforms don't work.

    That is my job. The reformists only want to manage the symptoms. Or at least pretend that they want to manage the symptoms because they will come up with bureaucratic excuses to take away those reforms and to not let you have them in the first place.
