        We have been in full flashed fascist for a while, liberals were at brunch and didn’t notice it. There’s only 1 way out of fascism and it isn’t voting

        What great things? Because more people were living paycheck to paycheck in 2024 than at any point since WW2. Dems spent all of 2024 talking about how great things are while everyone’s lives were falling apart. Biden was told by the Supreme Court that he could do whatever he wanted and it wasn’t illegal, but he chose to do nothing. Now the same thing is happening in Europe and Canada while the neoliberal parties continue to learn nothing.

          You can believe what you’d like but the democrats accomplish great things when they’re in power and leftists fall for the right-wing propaganda because it confirms their biases.

          If leftists don’t like it they should run their own candidates and show the democrats how to do it.

            So once again you have just said “they do great things” but provide no examples. All i saw Biden do was send Ukraine loads of weapons, give up after the first hurdle on cancelling student debt (which was just a band-aid solution anyway) and then spend 3 months building a pier in Gaza that was immediately destroyed. If the did great things, why didn’t they plaster the airwaves with their accomplishments during the election? And when leftists do run their own candidates they are criticized for not falling in line and costing the election.

                I am saying it was the thing he was most successful at. Which is again, more accomplishments than you have listed.

                  You’ve had nine months to see the difference between Trump and Biden but you’re choosing to ignore everything Biden did.

                  I’m not here to spoon feed you, you’re free to eat up the right wing propaganda and not open your own eyes.

                    I’m not giving you right wing propaganda. I am trying to get you to understand that in a democracy, you have to show the voters that you are doing something to benefit them, or tell them what you are going to do that will benefit them. The only ones who have seen their lives improve in the past 20 years are the wealthy, so when one party says they are going to maintain the status quo, citing numbers that don’t mean squat to 90% of the electorate, and the other party says they are going to tear it all down and build up something else, it is no surprise that the public will choose option 2. That’s what has been happening across the entire world as the neoliberal foundations society has been built on start collapsing.

                    You are viewing voters as rational actors which they are not.
