You people really are this dense. I used to want healthcare , like any person in all developed nations has. I used to want a higher minimum wage. I used to want a lot of things the Dems promised, had a majority for, and then did nothing about.
Now I just want an end to the genocide we started and are still directly involved in.
This is effectively untrue. Sure, there were a couple of times where there were more people with Ds in front of their names in both houses, but the reality is (and any genuine objective person who pays attention knows this) it's been razor thin, and there have always been a couple of "moderates" who oppose these things (2 of whom have even left the party, showing how much they were even part of it to begin with) and thus making it impossible to pass. Throw in stupid shit like the filibuster and it's no wonder democrats can't get sweeping legislation through.
If you want these things, and you're instead voting third party, you're acting against your best interests and simply casting a vanity vote. That's your choice, but don't pretend that you actually are working for change.
Why don't you still want healthcare and higher wages? Because now you think suffering is good or something?
No the things I was promised before you were born are no longer achievable, otherwise we'd have done it. We as a country are too stupid, too pathetic to even have free healthcare. Something every developed country and a lot of developing countries figured out.
Id love those things, but you people have made it clear getting your team to win is far more important than what they do after they've won.
So I can only hope, fruitlessly, that maybe we don't continue to do a genocide. that's my standard for you people. That's my only real want anymore.
That's my single issue that I'm a voter for.
Because that's all I think this country can manage, after forty years of disappointment.
I hope you're happy with your decision when I get the order to kick in your door. Sorry, just following orders, but at least you followed your conscience, right? Both sides!
Resorting to reporting people along with constantly using "you people" and "your team" while also talking about leaving the country as if it's a bad thing while also consistently talking down on the country?
Are you trying to convince me or you that your ideas are bad?
P.S. Not a single policy has been talked about. Has Fox news not given you one yet?
