Which is why it’s a shame to see you fight each other as if that isn’t the case.

I would wholeheartedly recommend reading How To Win Friends And Influence People (or at least this summary). Especially if you’re trying to convince people to vote in the midterms.

    Vote with your heart in the primaries, vote with your head in the general. Of course you should vote Democrat. I’m just saying there are also things you can do to improve the quality of Democrats you get.

      Ah, ok you’re one of the reasonable ones. For some reason I’ve been butting heads against staunch anti-Ds today and it grinds you. They refuse to see that their position is playing in the hands of the R cronies.

      But yes, what Bernie almost did was amazing. Very much hoping to see something similar happen again.

        Yeah, I don’t know why that position is so common here. And God it would be so awesome to see someone like Bernie actually succeed. I think it’s possible.

          They must be either paid shills, or fanatics who direct their anger to the Democratic party. Their solution is some vague revolution, whereas taking over the Democratic party would be an order of magnitude easier task.

        Nazi Germany had lots of “reasonable ones” too. Good Germans. Good Americans.

        They made a poem about it.

      I will not vote for a pro genocide candidate. You want to know what’s too far? That’s it. I won’t put myself OR YOU over kids in Gaza. No apologies.

      We deserve neither prosperity or security.
