    I’m frustrated. Democrats win and don’t get anything done because of republicans and then lose and don’t bother resisting the republicans.

    Republicans make things worse, of course , but democrats don’t or can’t make things better.

      that’s a difference. Right there. Dems don’t make things better but they don’t make things worse. I hate dems but until new party forms I will encourage people to vote dem or at least third party over staying at home because that’s put us here. Once the GOP is gone we can collectively give dems the middle finger. DNC knows this which is why they act the way they do.

        People have been saying this since I was able to vote: “Just vote for the dems you hate now until they have enough power then we can vote for who we want.”

        And in all that time the republicans have gotten more powerful.

        There will never be a time in my life where the GOP is gone. And probably not my children’s either.

      Of course you are. As am I. But that doesn’t mean I’m willing to just “give up.” Yes I’ll vote against Trump at all chance even if it means I’ll lose. Because I may not.

      I don’t want a leader who is fucking exciting or a firebrand. I just want a competent administrator who treats the nation as something to be preserved. And that’s a hard sell against a cheap auto-salesman like Trump.

      Republicans make things worse, of course , but democrats don’t or can’t make things better.

      But those are the only two options. So you pick a democrat and hope for the best.

        If the democrats are the best we can hope for then we are well and truly boned.

        And how much longer am I gonna have to hold my nose and vote for an asshole I hate before they get enough power to mean I don’t have to?

        Will I be dead before I can actually vote for someone I want to be in office? And even then will they have a stroke and start schlonging conservative dick?

        Politics is a game designed to be so infuriating that most people rage quit.

            Hint: he’s been a pro-MAGA agitator for ages. He’s always exclusively attacking Democrats. He is MAGA. Keep that in mind when trying to engage.

            I’ve been doing the “smart thing” and voting blue in every election and writing y representatives and it clearly hasn’t worked.

                  If doing the right thing is giving you an ulcer, maybe you ARE voting for the wrong party. MAGA might suit you better.

                    What’s giving me an ulcer is me doing the right thing and everybody else fucking it up and things continuing to get worse despite me doing what everyone says I should. It’s not working, it hasn’t been working, and it will continue to not work while the country and planet go down the tubes.

                    Better people than you have called me MAGA because I hate the Democrats for being complete fuckups
