There's more of that dehumanization, "you disagree with me so you're mentally ill." More of that "only WE can save the country." Instead of making demands and throwing personal insults (also pretty faschie of you,) why don't you explain why dems SHOULDN'T work with leftists if leftists supposedly cost them every election they lose?
You can vote Biden to SaVe ThE wOrLd, but you ignore the long game for the now. Saving marginalized groups in the short term does NOT change that we're still moving further right towards fascism with either party. You're not saving anybody if you don't change the system that is pushing for those groups to be further marginalized. You're calling the bandaid the cure and fighting people who want a cure harder than you ever fought the people hurting those groups. Next time, dems will be three steps closer than they are now, but "vote blue no matter who!" time after, three more steps closer, but "blue no matter who!"
Each go around more and more extreme rhetoric and policy is normalized partially due to dems refusal to hold their feet to the fire. We're only a few elections away from the dems throwing trans people under the bus too to "court moderates." Then they'll keep creeping down the list same as Republicans, because any force to move them in any different direction is artificially snuffed.
You obviously think you're a hero voting dem, but all you're doing is voting for the end of democracy in 10 years instead of 5, so I'll see you on the other side brosef.
Okay, so you don't have an alternative solution, and both sides same. Got it. None of your thoughts or feelings matter, if there are no future elections.
And about that solution? You done whining snowflake?
