    You’re right. It’s not.

    The short answer is that most people who vote care more about who wins elections than what our legislators actually do. Look at Biden, who hasn’t fulfilled hardly any of his promises and we’ve even regressed significantly under his leadership, losing abortion rights and seeing increasing scarcity of housing, but 49% of voters will loudly and proudly argue that re-electing him is a moral imperative rather than demanding better from the Democratic Party.

    And the fascists won’t have to lie about what a shitty president he is, so his inaction is going to pave the way for us to become an overtly fascist state.

      I’m not even American, but don’t blame Democrats for the failures of the other voters. They at least vote for progression rather than regression of Republicans.

      That would be like me blaming superman for not being enough superman when there’s 9 lex luthors in the room. Fuck off with that disingenuous bullshit.

      most people who vote care more about who wins elections than what our legislators actually do.

      He says right before blaming Biden for the actions of the Republican senate, house, and supreme court.

        How exactly?

        Minimum wage / Living wages, Abortion, Housing Scarcity, War Spending, Health Care, Education, Fascism, Police Violence

        Every single one of these has worsened and Biden had total congressional control for the first two years of his presidency.

        He says right before blaming Biden for the actions of the Republican senate, house, and supreme court.

        The presidency and Congress were both Dem-controlled. I am, in fact, blaming them for their inaction.

        It doesn’t matter what they say they support if the end result is conservative rule regardless of who’s in power.

          You’d shoot an ally rather than an enemy. You are the problem.

          You think yourself uniquely cognizant, you’re not, you’re the typical American voter, and we all know how cluey they are because non-Americans know the failures of the American electoral system and their politics better than they do.
