I’m going to keep voting for democrats anyway because our system has no real choice
Yeah… people are quick to point out that Republicans can’t win elections without massive voter repression - but they never admit that Democrats can’t win without literally threatening everyone with the other side’s fascism, either.
It’s been that way ever since the Obama betrayal - and that’s not something corporate liberalism will ever deserve forgiveness for.
It was that way during the 2004 Bush v. Kerry election and probably the 2000 Bush v. Gore election, too. (I don’t remember much about 2000 because I wasn’t really paying attention to politics yet.) And it probably goes back even further than that.
You know all of the rhetoric used against Trump? They were saying all of the same things about W. Bush.
Obama was very different… when Obama promised change people believed him. People don’t really talk about this… but I believe that Obama delivering nothing except more of the same was the last time people who voted Dem would ever trust corporate liberals ever again. There was a break there that the Dems can never fix, and deservedly so. It’s the reason why the Dem strategy to win elections now pretty much boils down to “vote for us or we hand you over to the fascists.”

That’s some absurd reasoning. “pointing out how the GOP are literally acting like fascists is the stupid Democrats fault”.
Get the fuck out of here.
