    apparently stopping fascism by continuing the same mediocre Dem policies isn’t enough motivation.

    I’ll take great Democratic policies that Trump will sadly now take credit for (IRA, chips, infrastructure, to name a few) over Trump any day.

      A better version of Social Security could exist instead of propping up the stock market with IRAs that are great for the middle class and suck for the poor is why IRAs are mediocre.

      Dems barely make efforts on infrastructure. Yeah, biggest plin blah bkllah blah is still miles behind where it needs to be. Mediocre.

      They failed to get single payer healthcare like first world countries because they wanted to keep the stupid filibuster that the Republicans will most likely ditch now that they have all three branches.

      Dems still give handjobs to the police.

      Not to mention Dems are also pretty shitty when it comes to international politics. They don’t start wars I guess, so there’s that.

            So when you’re downplaying Democratic accomplishments, that is not to give legitimacy for one to have not voted, or to have voted for Trump? Because that advertisement makes me more confident in my vote for Harris, knowing what I know about Trump.

            Edited for past tense.

              Being better than Republicans doesn’t make them immune to criticism.

              I am explaining why people lost motivation to vote at all. Not justifying, explaining.

                I never said they were immune from criticism. And that explanation (and faulty mindset) is what got us here. Thank you for confirming.
