    Oh yeah, how’s being a douchebag on the Internet working out for you as a replacement for democracy. It’s easy to criticize the flaws. It’s a lot harder to come up with something better. I never said it was working well, for the record. I said I’d like to keep the possiblity of it working open for the future, because let’s be real, if you have the resources to remake America, you have the resources to win an election. The fundamental problem with leftists is that we’re mostly smug assholes who refuse to work with anyone we disagree with, and until that changes we will remain completely irrelevant.

      I’m not American - I’m saying you are worse than what liberals say Russian and Chinese are

      anyone we disagree with,

      • Economically they are neoliberals - leftists are opposed to neoliberalism
      • Their foreign policy is brinkmanship, genocide and bombing allied infrastructure

      This is 0/2- how are they not enemies rather than “someone I disagree with”?

      until that changes we will remain completely irrelevant.

      You will remain irrelevant because you’d vote D whatever they do. It seems like you represent the Dems as a project whatever they do, rather than they represent the voter base, earning votes.
      Which is ass backwards.

          Yes, I vote for them unconditionally, and I also argue publicly to vote for them unconditionally

              Whether you like it or not they don’t see your vote as an endorsement of the marginal differences, they see it as an endrosement of everything they’re doing, including that genocide thats going on.
