All blah blah blah. The NONVOTERS chose this with the fascists.
But keep ignoring all semblance of responsibility with your head in the sand.
Again, I'm not telling you whether or not I went through with it. You're assuming that I didn't vote and getting very angry at me instead of at the people who had actual power to do something and chose not to rock the boat.
Divisive rhetoric like playing the blame game is not productive and serves only to help the fascists waste our time. Being mad at people isn't going to convince them that they voted wrong, it only cements the opinion that you can't be reasoned with.
What we need now is Truth and Reconciliation, and to get that we have to have power, and to get that we have to have organization. Take all that disparate, individual rage and point it in a useful direction. Go join a union. If there isn't one at your workplace, start it.
Im Not mad at you if you voted. Im pointing out excusing nonvoters never works, as evidenced.
Maybe if nonvoters ever came out we could've given Democrats more than the thinnest of majorities twice in a few decades and had more progress.
Why is that so hard to agree with? Again, if progressivism is so popular then why can't people turn out and overtake the Democrat party?
I am doing something. Im fighting against this idea it's all Democrats fault when they were barely given any power to begin with and no one cared to vote in primaries for Anyone better.
That's a failure of nonvoters, period. Stop with the excuses so that no one ever feels THEY are responsible for all this horseshit we see today. THAT is counterproductive.
It's funny watching BlueMAGA trying to vacillate between
