I'm not happy, that's why I voted against him, and the politicians that enabled him. While I don't think the Democrats would have done the same thing, they would have continued building out his infrastructure (like they did last time), as well as continue bombing kids, backing a genocide, taking from the poor and working class and giving to the rich, etc etc....
You know, the things they claim to be better on, but aren't.
Well, maybe if we had a Lefty candidate to vote for, more of us would have. But all I saw from the two main parties last time were two right-wing candidates.
Voters: "Please stop bombing children", "Please stop backing a genocide", "Please stop handing out our taxes to your rich friends", "Please stop making healthcare the number one reason for bankruptcy", "Please stop sending people to torture prisons", "Please make minimum wage a livable wage"
"...less than ideal party..."
I think you might have a warped view of what "less than ideal" means
It's not fair to say that he accomplished nothing! Bombing kids, backing a genocide, taking money from the working-class and poor, and giving it to his rich friends, helping to build out the border wall, increasing funding for the police and surveillance state...
All that work aint easy.

...a system today of nonjudicial removals, where 75 percent of people removed do not see a judge before being expelled from the U.S.
Those facing nonjudicial removal have no lawyer and no chance to appeal.
The Obama administration has prioritized speed over fairness in the removal system, sacrificing individualized due process in the pursuit of record removal numbers.
Your intentional mis-representing of my reply doesn't mean that I missed anything.
Simply not having Trump (who practically wants everyone in Gaza killed, wants Muslim bans, licks Netanyahu's boots, chose to officially recognize Jerusalem as capital of Israel, relocated US embassy to Jerusalem) is better.
Trump being worse than Harris does not mean that Harris wouldn't have done the same thing. I do not disagree that Trump is worse, but that's not what we were talking about.
Not understanding FPTP voting when it's been explained ad nauseum is unbelievably stupid. No, your claim is false. You believe falsehoods.
Can you point out what I said that was a falsehood? Because, nothing I said in that statement is false. It was indeed possible to vote against Trump, and also vote against the Democrats. FPTP has nothing to do with how that works. A vote for a third party can be a vote against both.
Only votes to a mainstream party candidate can beat the other mainstream party candidate.
This is a falsehood. If a non-mainstream candidate got enough votes, they would win against a mainstream party candidate.
lolwut?
Why would voting for Democrats have stopped the people in Gaza from being killed? The Democratic leadership is literally the reason that Palestine is the way it is, and Harris said that she saw nothing wrong with that, implying that she would have continued on supporting the Genocide.
Believe it or not, it was possible to vote against Trump, but also vote against the Democrats.
Here's how you get more progressive's in office: Stop voting for parties that fight against progressives.
It seems pretty obvious that, for a Genocide, we should blame the Genocide supporters, AKA, the Democrat and Republican leadership
Based on that logic, it sounds like there are too few young voters to worry about memes stopping them from voting.
Well, then maybe the Democrats should fix that, by putting out candidates that young people actually want to vote for.
Yeah, wouldn't want to consume any true, but politically inconvenient posts

Last book: This is How You Lose the Time War - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_Is_How_You_Lose_the_Time_War
It was good. I don't normally like love-stories, but this was poetically written. A lot of fun sci-fi and beautiful imagery.
Current book: Little Brother - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Brother_(Doctorow_novel)
Lots of fun hacking and rebellion against an increasingly authoritarian government, very much inspired by 9-11. It's a fun Young Adult Novel so far.
