[–] 4 points 9 months ago*

What do you even mean? I did vote. And just because someone feels ok voting foe someone doesnt mean others do. Are you saying all muslims are the same? Wow.

Edit to be clear, I went out and knocked doors for that election too (2024), but I refused to campaign explicitely for the higher ups, and focused on local candidates I actually believed in. This drives interest up the ticket.

    I mean, depends on your definition of "talking shit" is. If you would describe what I said as "talking sbit" I think that makes the party way too inwardly focused, and almost "cult of personality" like we see from the republicans.

    The good thing about the democratic party is the wide tent and diversity of strategies. We need to be more transparent and proove ourselves since we dont (alway) have millionaire and billionaire funding.

    I would not slander Democrats and still encourage voting, but to take a different stance, I cant exactly enourage Palestinians to vote for a candidate that actively promoted the genocide of their people. So its tricky, and open primaries and diqlog really clarify all that.

    I agree.

    And also, itd be great if senators like Bernie, Warren and others, actually called out their "peers" who are obviously blocking progress.

    I think my two Senators: Kaine, and Warner are playing a shell game where they go as corporate as they can and still give the appearance of resistance.

    And yet I ha e to vote for them until there is a viable alternative. Its just so frustrating the lack of transparency.

    Maybe, but saying that there wont be elections helps ensure that there wont be elections.

    Its the climate doomerism side of climate action. The doomers and the deniers are part of the same coin that gets us no closer to a solution.
