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

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?

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.
-
@Pine_Affinity @JakeKb @Netraven @mcnado
and that's on you. because you didn't show up in the primaries to vote him out
@benroyce @Pine_Affinity@mastodon.social @JakeKb @Netraven @mcnado goddamn some holier-than-thou pricks just refuse to understand the assignment.

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

that depends upon if enough useless whiners like yourself get off your fucking ass and vote

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

@Pine_Affinity
Compared to what?The ONLY way you replace Chuck Schumer is by showing up and voting for someone else in the midterms, over and over and over again

lmao
Your resorting to insults is so sad. Browbeating people into voting for a dead end party is not a winning strategy. -

Was Biden better than the Orange guy?
Was Kamal better than the Orange guy?We got the worst option because people who should have voted for her, just never showed up

some people don't care about fixing the world or righting wrongs
their primary concern is rationalizing to themselves their entitlement to sit it out and whine
they don't want to sully their magical sense of purity. their self-regard is their highest concern, they do not care if the country is fascist. as long as they get to say "not my fault" when we're going to concentration camps. even though it is their fault, because they did not participate
