    If it upsets you so much, you can do something about it.

    Start supporting better candidates and encourage others to do the same.

    Once we nominate a candidate that actually cares about the working class, then we can stop having this discussion and focus on solving real problems.

      That is not how politics actually works.

      I do support better candidates… In the primary… But then I vote for the person who is the least likely to destroy everything.

      That’s the problem with 2024. The Democrats never had a primary. That was wrong. Nobody wanted her. And just because you don’t like the candidates doesn’t mean you’re not supposed to vote.

      I think what a lot of uneducated lefties forget is that “better” is subjective, and that positive change happens in very small amounts–whereas negative change usually happens in huge chunks.

      But if you really want to know what I think, I feel humanity is far too flawed to get beyond where we are right now as a society. I mean, look at us, we are sitting here arguing and probably on generally the same side. There is zero hope.

        You were willing to overlook a genocide. We are not on the same side. Maybe one day you will come around to my side and we will welcome you. I will never come around to your side.
