      So the wolf wins instead of the wolf in sheep’s clothing.

      At least the GOP is open with their stance. Unlike the snake in the grass that is the Democratic party.

          One side is absolutely worse. But that doesn’t make the other side automatically good.

          Why is the American way to never demand better of our elected officials?

            Well every 4-8 years we get these people who say I’m not voting because one issue and then Republicans take over and just absolutely fuck everything up and then people who didn’t vote go oh wow that was bad I’m gonna vote and then we get another centrist Democrat and those same people pick a issue and say I’m not gonna vote, rinse repeat, if you want more progressive candidates the democrats have to keep power for more than 8 years, change is slow and throwing a tantrum and yelling I’m not gonna vote does nothing but maintain the status quo the non voters complain about. Also the reason we get a lot of centrist Democrats is because before the largest voting bloc was boomers which are more conservative so biden appeals to them as they age out the choices will get better but if we lose democracy before then well it will be just one more thing boomers stole from everyone else.

            This entire thread is about being an idiot by not voting so that “absolutely worse” wins.

        If gore won we wouldn’t have had the Iraq war. If Hilary had won we’d still have Roe v Wade.

        Both those elections people said both sides were the same, but the material results are clearly different.

                You are simply wrong about the facts.

                Joe Lieberman was not dropped. He lost his primary to an antiwar democrat.

                Maybe this should be a sign that you should contribute less to conversations and listen more? The rest of us keep having to stop and explain things to you and that is starting to get frustrating. This probably applies to you in real life as well, so keep that in mind the next time you’re talking and see people roll their eyes
