    I dont get it either. The reds will be out in force for whatever reason. They dont care aboutbpolicy. They just vote. The opposition seems to want to be presented with ideal choices and want to hold out until they get it, country be damned.

    Its why even pro fighters are wary of street brawlers - the rules dont matter. Play by them, or expect rabid dogs to abide by them, and you lose. Every time.

    Oh, but you get to go home and be smug about not stooping to their level.

      That’s exactly what people want. They’re sick and tired of these half-ass politicians so they seek out candidates who will actually stand for something. The strategy of big tent politics failed Kamala’s campaign.

        In any other election (barring 2024, which got us here), id be all in for this. But right now, theres a criminal in the white house wrecking the country, and deatroying your rights, and it seems to me that the voters cant be arsed to turn out because ‘huh, no ideal choices’.

        Their kobayashi maru solution would be to do nothing because the outcome would be the same - failure, only the consequences of this failure would be to learn klingon. Thats not strength.

              Put a fascist in the White House twice while favorability of the Democratic party is at an all-time low.

              That’s how it turned out.

                Voting in another party would have sent a stronger message. To both parties. But yeah. Hold your paper signs and enjoy your corner of fascism.

                  Like I said all the blame rests on the shoulders of people like you who continue to enable a weak and unpopular Democratic party. Why else do you think people voted for both Trump and Mamdani?

                  Enjoy watching your party leaders deliver strongly worded letters!

                    Glad to see youre part of the ‘solution’ then. Keep blaming the leaders and waiting for your ‘strong’ party. Dont mind the don. Hes just wrecking rhe country in the meantime.
