I shut my mouth during the election and hoped for Harris to win. Fuck it though, the DNC has utterly failed us. From now on, I'm voting for someone that can offer real change. If the DNC tries to ratfuck another candidate like Sanders I'll write their name in and not give a fuck because the DNC gave us Trump, twice.

Now is the time to organize and drag the DNC off the corporate dick they're sucking.

It's not that they don't want to institute these things. It's the fact that every Republican win shifts the Overton window, and makes them believe that they need to move more to the center.

"If the GOP are winning elections, then maybe this is what the American people want."

Also, none of us are the typical voter. Nobody on this forum, nobody popular on Twitter, nobody with a YouTube channel. None of us are the average mindless American that doesn't give a shit about politics, doomscrolling 4 hours a day, falling for whatever propaganda lands on their eyes, and are only voting because it's a team sport they get to play every four years.

I wasn't going to vote for Biden but I decided I'd hold my nose and vote for her, even after the whole Gaza thing at the convention.

But then she started palling around with Dick fucking Cheney.

The electorate failed us. They saw a child rapist, and said cool I’m in! Eggs man!

From now on, I’m voting for someone that can offer real change.

So, Trump or whoever the GOP offers?

If you're saying that a vote for a 3rd party is a vote for Trump, guess what? Voting for whatever the DNC offers up still got us Trump, twice. I'd rather vote my conscience if it doesn't matter anyways.
