Voters are not your slaves. They owe you nothing. If you're a politician and you can't get people to support you, that's on you. No, you can't just point across the aisle. Someone else committing worse crimes doesn't excuse yours.
We have to stop falling for the extortionists. Corporate Democrats are extortionists, nothing more. They're no different than a mobster that says, "nice house there, would be a shame if something happened to it." That's literally their strategy for winning elections - "well, I'm not going to do anything for you, but the other guy will be even worse!"
Stop telling people they have a duty to vote for criminals and extortionists.
Hey I remember you, you're the guy that just tried to pass off "Gore was going to invade Iraq!".
So, strawman fallacy. I did not say or suggest that voters are your slaves. What I said is that protest-non-voting is wholly and completely ineffectual at positive change. More of your hammering different things together I see.
More nutso.
More strawman. See above.
More nutso.
I don't think you read what I linked. Here you go:
Dems deliver, but it’s always “n n not good enough” for certain people.
Inb4 replies: The Dems need all 3 houses to pass anything. They’ve had that for, drumroll please, 4 years of the last 24 years. That’s 2 years under Obama and 2 under Biden. Go back further to include Bill Clinton and it’s 6 years of the last 32 years. Go further and it’s 6 years of the last 44 years. And you wonder why progress is slow?
Ciao.
Corporate Dems getting a lock on Congress isn't enough to get things passed. They always find a rotating villain to be the designated bad guy.
But yeah, go ahead and throw names like "nutso" around, as your ilk continue to lose election after elections with your tired and geriatric strategy.
You're right I shouldn't say nutso, I should say conspiracy theorist. Ok ciao.
Typical Blue Maga, turning to name calling. I bet you like throwing around words like "drumpf" a lot too.
