Which is why it’s a shame to see you fight each other as if that isn’t the case.

I would wholeheartedly recommend reading How To Win Friends And Influence People (or at least this summary). Especially if you’re trying to convince people to vote in the midterms.

    This is why no one thinks you’re convincing. Because if you fundamentally believe this is the best we got, you have nothing offer, and the fact that you can’t see that means our only options are to fight you and ignore you, and when you insist on spreading your position on social media, you must be fought

      Yeah, surely keep on fighting. But vote D in the mean time. Rs need to be kept away from power, and not voting D is enabling Rs.

        Voting in Ds also enables Rs, and we have no shortage of examples.

          I mean, are you under some sort of uninformed impression that any 3rd party can win a federal election?

          The most popular 3rd party candidate in 2024 received 0.5% of the total votes cast. To be clear, that’s a really, really, really small percentage and proves that in no way can a 3rd party win a federal election.

          So your country and, therefore, your life, will be controlled by Democrats or Republicans. Now, take a real good look around you and figure out which one you prefer.

            They are literally collaborators. I wish people would stop assuming that Democrats are somehow different from the system that they created. Trump is using policies created by Obama/Biden. Biden/Harris had the Epstein Files in full and chose to do nothing to stop Trump. Clinton deregulated the financial system which directly caused the criminal behavior that crash the global economy and Obama gave all the money to the banks and no one experienced any consequences. Obama presided over the largest expansion of fossil fuels in history. Corporate profits are highest under Democrat regimes.

            Stop telling me I’m wrong for rejecting the Good Cop’s mask. Stop telling me I’m immoral for not voting for the “obvious good guy” in the puppet show. The puppet show has characters that wear red and blue so that it’s easy for the audience to understand who to cheer for and who to boo for, but the puppet show is run by ONE system and the puppets are part of that system and the SYSTEM is the thing that is harming us. Not the Red Shirts, not the Blue Shirts, not the Good Cop, not the Bad Cop.

            Why are you demanding that I stand here and pledge my allegiance to the fascists with the masks on?
