    They are going to invade Iran, and play up every single death as a way to blame the Dems and every citizen for not supporting Trump. Now its a real war and “oopsie doopsie no can do elections”

      And the progressives on here are going to blame democrats for not having more votes to stop this guy and say we need to vote 3rd part to keep his power unchecked.

        The minority Republicans were able to interfere with a lot of what Biden tried to do, yet the minority Democrat’s are unable to interfere with Trump’s bullshit?

        Why shouldn’t I be frustrated at that?

        lol who hurt you?

        Progressives are pushing to change local voting systems from FPTP to RCV or Score/Approval/other so that Americans aren’t forced into a vote for the least bad candidate situation. Progressives are pushing progressive primary candidates to pull the whole party to the left, but in the primary voting D.

        In the meantime in this current system, always Democrats unless they’re going to win easily, then you can vote your conscience.

            i just dismiss those as trolls trying to wind me up (usually quite successfully, i exist in a state of NEEDS MORE COFFEE). when i was young and stupid and immature (and i had hair!), like in high school my conservative friends and i jokingly campaigned for the green party. we didn’t actually campaign, we just had some buttons on our backpacks. we were too young to vote and all. so like, now those high school trolls are online and they used to be me and know how to push my metaphorical buttons. but i used to be them (and tried to grow out of it, and hope i did) so i kind of understand them a little? does that make sense?

            edit: that came out of my mind of course it doesn’t make sense

        No, we’re going to blame you for your desperation to appear non-threatening and say you need to start showing up armed.
