    Sure. Except the policies they pass represent their electorate and are diametrically opposed to Republicans.

    Listen, I’m for all the same things everyone on this platform wants. The issue is our generation is terminally online but doesn’t bother to vote. If you want to make changes disengaging from the political system altogether is not the answer. Building coalitions and doing the hard work is. But that takes work and is not exciting, so it’s just easier for accounts like @[email protected] to keep spamming non-stop about how “both parties are equal” and “corpo overlords”. It’s just more fun, isn’t it?

      Many of those that chose not to vote are disenfranchised voters that do not feel represented in government, and rightfully so. Many of our lives do not fundamentally change for the better regardless which shade of fascism runs the government.

      Liberals talk about building coalitions, which translates to ‘do it our way otherwise you want the other team to win.’ They want zero input from the marginalized groups they help keep marginalized, they do not listen to our needs.

      Claiming that you want all the same things other people want is disingenuous when you demand we support the people fighting those changes.

        Sorry. I just don’t buy it.

        If you really want to enact change get politically active at the local level and build up. Get a seat at the table. Build coalitions. Run for local elections. Support your city council / school policy. Talk about what you can do.

        Spamming incessantly about how bad the Dems are betrays a total lack of understanding who the main electoral base is (outside the internet) and how legislation is passed. This has been pointed out to you multiple times. You know all this. You know what you’re doing. We see it.

        I don’t buy it.

          The working class will NEVER have a seat at their table, only promises and illusions that someday we will so they can stay in power.

            Bro. That’s great but you realize you could be doxxing yourself? I wouldnt post information like that. I don’t agree with your stance politically but I don’t want anything to happen to you either.

              Yeah you’re right. I mean people know I live in the LA area already but I’ll delete it anyways.
