The DNC cited a procedural concern, but Hogg said it is “impossible to ignore the broader context” of his criticisms.

      That’s your problem, thinking you’re rewarding Democrats somehow by voting for them rather than doing damage mitigation for the country. They’re rich and will be fine regardless of who you vote for - you’re only making things worse for yourself by not voting for the lesser of two evils.

        You say “Thats your problem” like you think the DNC can win without these people you talk down to.

        How? We’ve voted blue no matter who for decades and look where it got us.

        Maybe democrats should do something to earn our votes.

          And if they don’t, who will be the ones suffering for it? It won’t be them.

              It’s more likely to be than letting fascists win, although a lot of work would have to be done primarying the corpos and getting progressives in there. That’s not even a possibility when the GOP has power.

                You don’t get it. YOU’RE letting the fascists win.

                Progressive policies are broadly popular. Corporate democrats are less popular than the least popular president in American history.

                  No, voting for not-facists isn’t letting the fascists win. People voting for fascists and refusing to vote against them are. They may be doing it because the not-fascists suck, but the result is the same.

                  People like you are the reason that we have a authoritarian fascist in power right now.

                  Well done. Fucking dipshit.
