Might be my supposition, but I believe the more aggressive political posters happen to come out of hibernation specifically for election time and then go back to sleep until the next cycle.

I'm just here to see the meme get proven right in the comments
Really? You're not going to say Harris had some good points? What if Hillary didnt steal the 2016 nomination from Bernie? Would there be Trump 2020 is he lost in 2016?
Next you'll say both sides make good points, fucking democrats.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
We don't need good intentions. We need strategies that work and a plan.
After watching nearly two straight years of this shit, I want to see results that fix some of these problems and stop the bleeding. I give less than a shit if we all kumbaya our way there together.
Well, the better way forward would be acknowledging that the Democratic party isn't a party and building the institutional infrastructure to respect that this is a coalition of several entirely distinct constituencies with very different views and restructure internal party politics to reflect that. Right now, the problem is the Democratic party doesn't actually HAVE a platform. It has a platform statement, most of which the "party" will never achieve because there isn't a single plank that is supported by every congress critter. About the only thing we all agree on is "Not Trump, not now, not ever" and why is entirely up to the individual.
We also have to come to grips with the fact that what the donors want, and what the voters want, are entirely different things and both sides of that are impotent without the other. We have witnessed what happens when money runs the show. Voters don't show up and chaos ensues. We also know that without money, organizing becomes impossible in an economy where any kind of volunteer service costs individuals a whole lot more than just some free time.
Why go against Trump when you can slander democrats and advertise third parties that have no chance to begin with?
To add, in 2024 the 3rd party candidate with the most votes was magician Jill Stein, who magically appears right before elections, then magically disappears again afterward. And she got a whopping half of a single percent of the total votes cast.
So yeah, ain't no 3rd party going to win a federal election anytime in the near or remote future. And ain't no 3rd party even really trying. So why fucking vote for them?
But I'd say arguing over who's got the better opinion is what democracy is about. It's messy, loud and sometimes violent but I think it's better than living somewhere where only one opinion is allowed.
Nah that's just an ex redditer thing. Have alternative plans for when voting get subverted, if your just banking on voting democrats in to fix things and Donald won't cry fowl and block it. Your planing for failure.
In my defense, you're opinion is wrong.
Wtf is a "well intention?"
