CORRECTION: A previous version of this article misstated that this poll had a likely voter screen. Democrats have a 57%-40% lead among men ages 18-30 who say they’re the most determined to vote.

    Of course they are.

    1. Party A wins election, workers make less, companies make more.
    2. It’s the last election! Party A will seize power if we don’t stop them! They’re cheating!
    3. Party B wins election, workers make less, companies make more.
    4. It’s the last election! Party B will seize power if we don’t stop them! They’re cheating!
    5. Party A wins… repeat for 200 years

    BoTh SiDeS aren’t the same, one is pro-LGBT, the other is pro-church. However, they are bOtH anti-union and pro-billionaire. For evidence, look at company profits vs. worker earnings for the past 70 years.

    Each party uses the other to blame their “mistakes” (i.e. deliberate failures against popular will) on. The only “cure” presented is party A or party B, both refuse to represent the people.

    Something like 80% of voters want universal healthcare, 90% Democratic support with 60% independent support and even 30% Republican support. Since the 1990s. It doesn’t matter.

    The vast majority of people want higher minimum wage. Undeniable. Over 20 years of “15 an hour” protests. Biden won on minimum wage platform. Doesn’t matter.

    Nobody wanted to go to war against Iraq. Trump won on a “no war” platform. Doesn’t matter.

    I vote in every election, and you should, too. Because it’s funny.

      You’re mostly right. But things do matter. No one wanted to go to war. And the consequences of going to war was so bad that Cheney didn’t even try to run for president. Literally no one in America wanted to be involved in Iran, and now Trump’s cult is melting down as their gas prices explode. This absolutely will affect midterms.

      Suck that change for the people is slow, but it happens. Actions still have consequences.

      You’re confusing neoliberals with Democrats, something that only helps neoliberals and Republicans and hurts literally everyone else…
