I guess they didn’t like the day they voted for. Huh imagine that.

    TLDR Hispanic men. They’re strongly Democratic now, so they haven’t learned a damned thing.

    EDIT: as the thread below has demonstrated, you all jump to conclusions about my meaning too easily. I’m saying Democrats - while definitely better on the totalitarian aspect, so this is not a “both sides” take - still serve us up to their corporate masters, as Hakeem Jeffries has recently demonstrated with his stated lack of support for universal healthcare.

            Amusing how you’ve already judged both me and my intent while demanding I explain it. Maybe don’t jump to conclusions so readily next time, eh?

              Dumb fuck cries that everyone calls them out for “both sides”-ing, then proceeds to do a “both sides”-ing. You just blow in from Stupid Town?

          No, it’s not - Dems are certainly better, but only because they’re not so totalitarian. They still serve us up to their corporate masters, however.

            Then what group that isn’t running in their areas should they vote for. That’s what’s so inflammatory about your statement. Yes Democrats serve the same corporate masters by and large. Yet even by your own admission they are better than Republicans while still doing this.

            You can only choose from the choices available to you. If someone asks you if you want cake or death. If you say chimichangas you’re getting death.

            I hope, I really really hope that DSA keeps moving on the DNC and we might actually see change at State and National levels. Maybe you’ve already seen it in your state. I’ve run into a lot of attached Blue State dwellers who have the same things to say as you did. But the majority of the rest of the country isn’t in the situation they find themselves and. And making fun of or admonishing them for choosing from the choices actually available to them is counterproductive we need to give them and ourselves better choices that are viable. Something this new DSA initiative might actually accomplish fingers crossed

      I mean there are only two choices: Democrat or Republican. They’re not a big enough block to start their own third side so what should they do in your enlightened mind?

        Probably this is what they’re pushing for

        And just to be clear, I’m not saying you don’t know this (person I’m replying to), or that you are the problem
