Fucking pro democrat propaganda is rampant lately. Anyone who dares to criticize the hillary clinton party is immediately a fascist. Your two party system is broken and this election is only a symptom.

Your two party system is broken

We know this, but that doesn't prevent voting blue from being the best route to changing it

How many times they had the presidency and the congress and haven’t changed shit? They don’t want to improve your politics because they ate all rich fucks who got rich off of your hard work.

How many times they had the presidency and the congress and haven’t changed shit?

In the past two decades? Maybe 4 years total, less than that. And Congress was on a razor edge margin last time.

The first time was under Obama and we got the ACA, which forced health insurance to cover cancer patients (who were kicked off in the middle of treatment before).

The second time was just recently where we got all the Biden Administration accomplishments listed in this chat. Infrastructure. IRS funding for wealthy tax cheats. Cheaper prescription drugs. Weed. The list goes on.

What's that? You weren't genuinely asking? You actually don't know or care about any of this? Ok cool...

No change >> making things worse

Voting blue is the best route to maintain it. It's likely it would get worse under Trump, sure, but the Democrats have no material interests in going against their donors.

Outside pressure gets change.

True, but not voting doesn't apply pressure. Voting 3rd party might but it's a very risky move.

I never suggested it did, lol.
