    That’s because the democrats are not much of an opposition and when they’ve been given votes, they don’t do much with them, which is one reason why they have trouble getting those votes in the first place. They insist on catering to republican-lites (i.e. moderate fascists) and insist that when in power they should “work with” (i.e. bend over for) republicans.

    Just take a look at the recent run with Harris: https://www.newsweek.com/kamala-harris-view-republican-cabinet-1965824

    Vice President Kamala Harris was asked by the co-hosts of The View on Tuesday whether she would have done anything differently than President Biden, responding “not a thing comes to mind,” before coming back to the question and adding that she plans to appoint a Republican to her Cabinet if she is elected in November.

    So she was fine with all the support for genocide, but thought we needed more republican influence in government. Even when democrats spell this out clearly, you insist that the problem is we’re just not voting hard enough.

      I think you should read my other comments here and in other places, but in short many like OP reject voting and are also wondering why they have no say in government after elections. Some engagement with the system is needed. I am saying we need our own party and to aim for local elections. I certainly hope you are aware that on election day there is more than one race happening or that there are other midterms. Blue no matter who should be a last resort.

      Also can we not use Newsweek on Lemmy? It is a tabloid chasing vapid clicks.
