In Trump’s first term, grassroots Democrats focused their ire on the Republican president. But now, after President Joe Biden’s reluctance to step aside in 2024 at age 81 helped pave the way for Trump’s return to the White House, many see their party’s own veterans as part of the problem.

    I’m a huge advocate of not voting,

    Ya’ll .ml users are NOT beating the allegations.

        I am not trained to untangle these incoherent strings-of-consciousness ravings. You will need to escalate this ticket to another department.

            I’m saying you’re a walking contradiction, who demands radical change but cannot be bothered with politics or nuance, your kind would plunge the world into equal or worse kinds of fascism and suffering than we have now because it’s equally mindless but cloaked in some kind of righteous entitlement and unrealistic perspectives of the world that only comes from ignorance and personal, emotional reactionary attitudes and a desire for vindication and validation over better outcomes.

            You want people to listen to you, to be provoked and to mobilize to do something, but you’re doing it so very wrong that I can only imagine you’re just a child who is barely learning how to influence people and be understood. Or you’re thriving in some kind of environment of abuse and hate directed at you, and like an incel trolling general public chats, you’re just here to validate some kind of hate for yourself you can’t let go of.

            Now you’re blocked by the way, I won’t see your rebuttal which I am sure would have been quite clever, so save your energy for the rest of the crowd here you seem to be really winning over.

              Voters have zero impact on policy and politics, that’s a luxury only afforded to the monied class. Your diatribe suggests you believe you have representation in government…

                If that were true then it wouldn’t hurt you to fucking vote. Unless your real reason is you’re the laziest fuck ever.

                    So vote for the Russian asset aimed at aiding trump in any way she can? You were defending not voting all over this thread in any case.

        I’m sure not voting will change things. Good job, dumbass. Maybe try a primary so you’re not stuck with the mic puppets.

        Instead you’re giving them a rubber stamp

          This. These assholes are like the people who say they’re okay eating anywhere and then bitch about the restaurant they wind up at the entire time.

            You certainly were, since by not voting you helped make it worse.

            And president wasn’t the only position on the ballot. Getting a Congress that actually does its job could go a long way to stopping shit like this. But you not voting doesn’t do anything to fix it.

            Dumbass.
