Nothing gives Israel a special right to invade neighbors, bulldoze their homes, and create a DMZ.

You don't have a party on the ballot. You have specific candidates and specific issues, and you should pick the best option on the ballot for each item.It is a harm reduction test, and not voting hands the choice to people who will be energized to give you the worst outcome

@JakeKb @Pine_Affinity @Netraven @mcnado
a 3rd party divides the left vote and ensures MAGA domination
we need to take over the democrats. i don't like it. it's just the most feasible option
the problem with international observers like yourself is you come from a different voting system
the usa is FPTP
meaning there will only ever be 2 parties (we need RCV to fix that)
it's not corruption, it's math
educate yourself before commenting on the matter next time:
Incredible to think that people who can’t stand to vote for Genocide Party A are the ones who are doing the dividing.
This party is not reformable.
I will see you in another year when Schumer is still leader. -
@Pine_Affinity @JakeKb @Netraven @mcnado
and that's on you. because you didn't show up in the primaries to vote him out

There is ALWAYS something one won't agree with. People always have something to complain about, something they miss, they can have different opinions on something.
It is all about moving in the right, general direction. Holding hands with one another, moving together, getting on the bus accepting annoying stops, but knowing that in the end, we will end up where we want to be, and in the process getting rid of those who are not willing to move.The Democratic Party is moving to the right.

Yes, you are asking for magic.At the time that you vote, ejection is not on the menu and wishing it to be is magical thinking
By all means demand that the party eject people who don't meet requirements, but if you abstain to vote, you hand your vote to the worst outcome

Because that doesn’t work.
Chuck Schumer responds to growing anger after he agreed to Republican spending bills
Senate Minority Leader rejected any calls for his resignation, standing behind his decision to vote with Republicans to keep the government open

voting doesn't work?
sitting there doing nothing but expecting centrist dems to change doesn't work
just fucking vote
in the primaries
replace them
that is how we fix it
all you are doing is arguing for a behavior, nonparticipation, which ensures fascism marches forward
why would you do that?
-
The Democratic Party is moving to the right.
Also, I really find 'left' and 'right' nonsensical and yet, everyone uses it. It's divisive.

how many times have i written "show up in the primaries"
do you understand what a primary is?
how did we get mamdani?
was it because of people like you going "nothing changes. waah. everything sucks and then you die. waah"
or was it from people voting?

If someone didn't vote at all, they voted my omission for this hellscape we're in now.

That is the ONLY way that things work.
We have shitty choices now, because people who could have influenced things to get better options stood back and let things take their course.Paradigmatic changes almost never happen, and are almost always bad. Incremental and marginal improvement is almost always the only way things actually improve. It works like that to make better sausages, airplanes, or policies

I voted for Joe Biden and he illegally sent bombs to explode children in hospital beds.

How many more years of Chuck Schumer are acceptable?
-
No
Factually and historically false.We got here BECAUSE "didn't vote" is the largest bloc, and instead of leaning in to bends things positive, they stood back and just let the Right snatch the victory, over, and over, and over, and over again
We got here because people who could have helped prevent Citizens United, didn't

Was Joe Biden voted into office? Did he then arm Israel to the teeth despite national and international law?
