    They didn’t, though. Ever since the Rush Limbaugh era, Republicans have always been voting against Democrats because they’re Democrats.

    You can keep patting yourself on the back for doing nothing of use and getting mad at anyone who points it out, but it won’t change anything.

    There needs to be a cultural shift, and democrats have shown time and time again that they do not want to solve these problems because they don’t want to pay more in taxes.

      Herp derp? Like a revolution?

      Lol.

      1. Not happening.

      2. History has taught us that revolutions often lead to worse situations because no one had plans for what happens after the revolution and then the grifters and bad actors fill the void.

      The cultural shift is reforming the Democrat party to be more progressive. That takes time and for knuckledraggers to realize that not voting or voting for non-viable 3rd parties makes that less likely to happen.

        You’re right. It’s definitely not happening.

        We don’t want to solve these issues, so they don’t get solved.

        Continue convincing yourself that you’re solving them by going to meetings or whatever. All our political system responds to is money.

      Are you dense? The Republicans have not been stable, they’ve been taken over by the far-right. The R’s that R’s vote for for because they’re not D’s have become increasingly far-right due to decades of grass roots efforts. Meanwhile the left and progressives have allowed D’s to drift until they resemble Eisenhower Republicans, or even Nixonians.

      Help move the Democrats left or stop whining about the very predictable results of your passivity.

      I’m probably waiting my breath. You seem like the type that just likes impotently screaming into the void.

          Thanks, it was more about not letting his doomer shit sit there unchallenged. If 1 or 2 people saw the exchange and said “roscoe is right, I’m going to go volunteer and try to get a little Mamdani elected to my city council,” I’ve done my good deed for the day.

        Yeah, you’re nuts.

        Trump was propped up by Russian interference, not any grassroots bullshit going on in the states.

        I’m going to ignore you now. People like you just love to argue rather than admit you’re wasting your time on bullshit.

        Keep being stupid.
