    I’m frustrated.

    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

                    Who the fuck are YOU to think that “boo hoo I voted correctly why didn’t it work??” It’s a goddamn democracy. Your vote alone is a drop in the ocean. You have to convince others as well.
