They are talking about striking in the national media, a conversation started by an Alexander-Hamilton-moderate-conservative. This is it, it has hit the mainstream media and word is getting out to the people that aren't necessarily in the 50501, and like organizations, loop.

I am so fucking tired of the “vote blue no matter who!”

Can you point to the part of my comment where I said anything at all about voting for Democrats? Because I'm pretty sure I wrote a very lengthy comment about Republicans and Conservatives.

Giving R more power at any level is laughably foolish. Everyone understands that today, I just hope people remember it this time.

I also included this:

(and don’t come at me with some shitty whataboutism - D sucks in their own way as a group, but that way is not this way)

And you gave me hundreds of words of whataboutism. 😂

I hope it was cathartic for you to get all that out, though.

Ok, how would you feel If I told people to vote third party then? It's not voting for Republicans so we should be good right?

Yeah I know you included that last sentence so all criticisms of Democrats can be deflected by pointing to it. Oh my gosh you got me!!! My entire point is the dems we have now and in the past have been spineless/worthless cowards. I have as much disdain for Joe Biden as I do Donald Trump. He would have continued perpetuating his evil foreign policies if he won a second term. He would habe kept his terrible immigration policies. Same with Kamala

It seems you have forgotten we are in this mess because of democrat incompetence. I was trying to remind YOU because YOU seem to need a reminder.

Genocide Joe didn't drop out and the dems paraded him around with no primary. This is all of their fault. Stop blaming voters for Democrats unpopulararity.

Do you think people would have been more motivated to vote for a democrat promising single payer healthcare? Cause I sure fucking do. Voters want better and I do not blame them.

Buddy, it's still a semi-free country. You can tell people whatever you like.

Good day to you.
