  Not Republican is the only qualifier if you’re not an insane person.

    That tactic hasn’t worked very well for the DNC, their only policy for the last 10 years is we are not Trump, despite every other indicator showing that they are.

        50 years of liberal ‘lesser evil’ has led to where we are right now. A small acceptable evil allows a slightly larger one the next time.

        Your incrementalism gave us incremental fascism.

      Criticize the Dems. I’m not saying they don’t deserve it.

      But that statement is irresponsible. Dangerous even.

      The last time Dems were in power American citizens weren’t being executed in the streets in broad daylight by an immigration agency 1300 miles from the southern border. The last Dem president wasn’t sending a Gestapo into American cities to terrorize American citizens to instigate pushback so he could cancel elections. The last Dem president didn’t corruptly use the National Guard to take over Washington DC. The last Dem president didn’t instruct his DOJ to openly defy the law.

      I can’t believe this continues to need to be repeated but THEY ARE NOT THE SAME.

        Democrats were helping build the infrastructure and creating the tools necessary for trump to take these actions. While you were at brunch Biden increased ice funding to the highest level they’ve ever received, he boosted detention center construction, he helped local police build cop cities. Bill Clinton’s expedited removal allowed immigrants be denied due process, a measure Obama used on 75% of those he deported. Obama/Biden built the cages trump kept kids in. ICE is collecting a database of faces of protesters to be cataloged and maintained by Palentir, who Democrats have a very cozy relationship with.

        In just a few days Schumer will help muster the votes needed to boost ICE funding again.

        No matter how many times you want to shout it, they are the same.

      The tactic hasn’t worked for the party, but it has worked for me.

      Your hot take is stupid. They are not Trump, and if you can’t see that NOW then reevaluate your entire life.

    Not Republican isn’t enough though.

    We can’t have a repeat of a bunch of bumbling dipshits voting for non-viable 3rd party candidates that literally cannot win or not voting at all.

    I will be voting for whatever Dem candidate is on the ticket. Because I’m tired of feds infringing on our rights and executing American citizens in the streets and the most likely way to make that stop is by voting for whatever Democrat is on the ticket.

      Something like 0.5% voted third party. IMO it’s a non issue. Never Republican is a clearer mandate. But yes, I will be campaigning hard for the best Democrat and will be voting Democrat.
