What lessons from history were overlooked?

You're right it's not specific to them. I'm talking about Dems because the thread is about liberals feeling obligated to vote Dem to stop Trump.
I might argue that using fear to gain/maintain power is a thing that all powerful people/institutions do. It might be a feature of all hierarchical power structures. Anyway, it's gross every time
Good for you for being informed enough to know about all those things. They're all good things. But they don't move my needle. They're much too small. Probably nothing could compare to a genocide but these don't come anywhere near close.
Straight-up student loan forgiveness could've been huge. We bailout big companies all the time but Biden fumbled student loan forgiveness by going small. National abortion access would be great but there's no way they'll get that passed.
You assume that voting will make a difference but it won't. Not only because most of us don't live in swing states but also, because voting doesn't change American politics. Biden showed us that. Hell, Obama showed us, America is still gonna be it's ugly self no matter who's in the oval office.
I refuse to keep pretending that a blue guy in charge is meaningfully better. They just talk nicer and give the people here a couple more things.
I want everyone to demand what they actually want, not settle for the guys who seem better than those other douchebags.
Your proposal is terrible lol
You've got your head on straight. Screw these attempts to guilt you into voting how someone else wants you to
They're certainly colluding to screw workers and consumers as much as possible. It benefits them to work together against the working class.
While we're at it, let's scrap that system that uses cops to protect capital. Put the people at the top of that system on the bottom of the new one
It's plenty sane, just not built for the success of regular people.
Individual consumer decisions will not fix climate change
You didn't answer my question
