Comment

Comment on American workers are tired of waiting.

And then of course in 2020 they colluded behind the scenes to have all the candidates drop out except Biden, Bernie, and Elizabeth Warren(Left in to split the progressive vote).

But you know these blue maga types, they prefer to leave reality off the table so they can pretend this is a functioning democracy.

And in 2024…Oh right… No choice to be had.

only registered democrats are allowed to vote

It’s free, and you can do it either online, or by mail, or in person. What the “I would vote but don’t know how to buy stamps” bullshit argument is that?

  That not everybody registers democrat for one reason or another, and are left out of the democratic process. Which people like you choose to ignore because it makes your arguments less sound.

    The internal politics of the party is not the only democratic process available to you. Pretending that it’s a big conspiracy that you need to be a member of a political organisation to effect said organisation is one of the most insane arguments against participating in democracy I’ve heard recently, so congrats on that.
    Yeah, I would also want American insane political system to be not as insane. Maybe participate in it a bit more, and you can change it, huh?

    First I knock on doors for the candidates I believe in, I’m probably one of the most participatory voters in my local area. I do the calls, I join in protests where I can, and am an active member of my community. If I wasn’t I certainly wouldn’t be pissed about the whole fucking thing. FFS, I’ve quite literally helped organize my neighborhood in case ICE shows up.
    
    I get that you don’t like losing, so you imagine arguments you can fight against, but don’t you find it a bit pathetic you need to do that? Stick to what I said, not why imaginary me said in your head, please. Don’t assume shit about my life you haven’t even bothered asking me about, it just pisses me off, and makes you look like an idiot.

  My state only lets you vote in primaries to the party you’re registered to. So I cannot vote in the Republican primary at all which means I get no representation from them even if I think they’re all fucking mad.

    …that’s how it’s supposed to work, yes. You chose your party affiliation first, then you chose how this party is shaped.
    Do I also think it’s stupid? Absolutely. But that’s the system you have, and you don’t get another one by just ignoring it really hard.
