    It’ll never happen. It’s such an idiotic thought as to make me wonder what the hell your motivations are.

      If it wasn’t clear I don’t want it to happen…but over the years I have felt pretty disenfranchised by the actions of the party vs the will of the voters, and I am still going to vote for them.

        I am still going to vote for them.

        This is why things have gotten progressively worse, they can do anything they want, including ignoring their base, and rest assured it won’t cost them votes.

          But the alternative is a gamble on fascism, in a 2 party system you have to pick the establishment you dislike least.

                  Except, by refusing to participate, you are. That’s how our system works. It’s stupid, but that’s how it works.

                    There’s a better chance of you voting for a republican than any left is voting for a Democrat. We vote for what we want to see in government. Not constantly voting against something. Voting against something is a protest vote, that’s the wasted one

                    There is no difference between red or blue fascism, one is openly racist, bigoted, and fascist. The other is covert

                  LOL, and if the Republicans seize power they’ll say “hold my beer” when it comes to any supposed “suppression” being done by Biden.

                    Private prisons, welfare reform, crime bill, cop cities, providing military equipment to cops, arresting protesters, this list of subjugation by democrats is near endless. Republicans are no better, but we know what to expect from them
