    Based insane take divorced from reality.

    What in my reply made it seem like I worship them, they’re the best we have and I long for better way but the only way we’re going to get better is voteing reform on many levels.

    Voting in fascists out of spite does no good.

      And predictable as the dawn, there it is.

      The assumption that anger at Democrats’ deliberate uselessness means advocacy for voting for Republicans.

        These people are just as blind as the fringe right conspiracist nutjobs. It’s like they’re arguing that McDonalds is better than Burger King because they only spit in your food 75% of the time rather than 95% of the time, while you’re arguing that we shouldn’t be eating at either of these restaurants to begin with. To top it all off they call you insane and a fascist for not agreeing with them.

        This country is so fucked.

          Centrist Democrats can’t imagine that people who don’t want any spit at all in their burgers actually exist.

        But it does, due to the unfortunate way our voting system is structured until massive voting reform voting for anyone accept the big two is literally voting for the other. It sucks but unless we change it we have to live with that

            Nope, I’m very vocal about criticism and fixing it but the solution you suggest has already horribly backfired once but by all means shoot yourself in the foot again

              the solution you suggest

              What solution did I suggest?

              Oh right. You don’t care. You don’t want to listen, just lecture.

                    Your responses were implicit that the only way to teach Democrats was to either vote Republican or third party.

                    Of course you did not come out and say this because you take a hard line stance on nothing instead, playing contrarian to everyone else.

                    Because as I’ve said before you only deflect you don’t actually State what you believe. The entire time we’ve talked all you’ve done is call down existing institutions without offering up any actual solutions and anytime one is presented you deflect.

          if I said they were both old men or politicians or obscenely wealthy, would you think I’m saying they are the same?

          they can share traits without being the same.

            Some Democrats want to be the same across as many issues as possible without being called the same.
