Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Vote away all you want, just don't have any illusions that it will really change anything at the federal level not related to culture war issues like abortion and identity politics stuff like gays, God, etc.. Because if you do, you will be quickly disappointed by the corporate Dems who have all the power in that party. Remember the secret party slogan that Biden blurted out to his corporate donors at a private event a few years ago, "Nothing will fundamentally change"...

If you don't vote you ensure that it gets worse.
@glennlab And if you do vote, you are legitimizing their charade of democracy and choice. I'm saying, vote away if feel like it, but don't kid yourself that you really have any choices in federal elections or that we live in a functioning democracy. And also don't buy their bullshit when they say every time "this is the most important election ever, etc."..
And I would also argue against your point of not voting makes things worse, because voting Blue No Matter Who is how we have ended up with a Dem Party that is now to the right of Nixon. Voting for third parties instead, during the last 50 years, would certainly produced a better result than that. So as far as I'm concerned, voting for corporate, centrist Dems is just as much or more of a wasted vote than voting third party, because, at least with the latter, you are voting for what you actually want, and are discouraging the Dems from moving further to the right. Make the motherfuckers start earning your vote, instead of taking it for granted or treating you like Rahm Emanuel does, and telling you to shut up and fuck off, calling you a moron, etc..
@TomMcGiverin In you lifetime have you ever voted a third party candidate that won. Elections are not marriages, You don't forego the good to get the perfect,No matter how bad the democrat options have been(Mansion and Senima for instance both of whom vote with the party 95% of the time) they are still better than the republican alternative. If you do not vote you ARE voting for whoever wins . When was the last tiem that you attended a party convention and made your voice heard? when was the last time you found a candidate you liked and supported them in ways other than just voting? If you don't vote, you ARE the problem, not the solution.
A third party vote anytime over the last 50 years would have produced more republicans in power, not an option for me.
@glennlab Blah, blah, blah.. I am tired of your worn out, vote-shaming arguments. Let it go... There is a reason the US has by far the lowest level of voter participation of any industrialized so-called democracy. And that reason is that most of the eligible voters have figured out what I am saying about the corrupt system and the duopoly and have chosen to not waste their time and effort on it anymore. And I bet most of them are actually more informed than most of those who still vote.
@TomMcGiverin I'm tired of your surrendering, grow a pair and do something instead of wallowing in your self pity that you can't get a date.
@glennlab Fuck you, Glen. I have plenty of balls and courage. You can shove your judgement on me. I do plenty of things and you know nothing about me or my local dating pool, so you have no idea why I have trouble finding someone to date. Did you ever consider that it might not be my fault and that I live in a terrible dating pool for someone like me? I thought not, because until you come here and check out the dating pool, you have no fucking idea what you are talking about with me. So shut the fuck up until you actually have some direct knowledge and evidence to make your bullshit judgements about me.
And as for surrendering to anybody, I guess you didn't see my comments in the other forum thread where I mention my plans for getting armed in the future and shooting as many of the MAGA pricks as I can if they end up coming after me in our coming civil war. How about you, Glen, are you planning to just be a sitting duck and depend on thinking that voting Blue No Matter Who is somehow going to save you from being murdered by those pricks?
Go ahead and block me, if you like, you aren't the mod of this group, so I would still be able to view it, just not your posts, which would not be much of a loss...
Yup, once the kid pops out, the mom and kid are instantly seen as moochers, or, as Mitt Romney put it, "takers" who are leeching off those job-creating corporations and rich folks.... If only we started using guillotines here to put some fear into those assholes...
