its not about leftist gaining power

Its not about power.

Its about since I have been like 10 and watched the bombs over baghdad and learned about atrocities committed by both sides I vowed to not vote for someone who would continue that

I am not telling anyone else what to do with their life, freedom or vote

you are in here telling me what to do with my life

I don't know you or care about your thoughts

it is confusing to be complaining about those in power and then taking pride in not voting or attempting to change the status quo by recruiting or creating grassroots movements

there will be no change in foreign or domestic policy unless those in power care for change. mind blowing concept I know

you can scream until you are blue in the face about the atrocities (I hate what has been happening as well), but until you have power you have nothing

I am in no way wanting to pressure anyone into a vote they do not believe in. the unfortunate way this country works is you are voting for what you do not want because people are too occupied with everyday life to begin to care about politics. this is where organizing and phone banks come into play. all we can do is educate people and if you truly want to see change you must do it from within

That’s obviously not true because a huge part of the Republican platform is reversing lib policies

They want to gut social safety nets for poor people, that’s why the GOP pretends to care about the debt

GOP wants to cut Medicare, it’s really not that complex, there isn’t a grey area on a lot of these issues

Acting like Dems are out here all about health care and helping the poor lol.

What has Biden done in his 4 years as president? What has Kamala done for the 4 years as VICE president? What has dems done for 2 years while being in control of the presidency, house AND Senate?

Both parties represent the same policies in the end of the day with a very few minor differences

again recognize they are doing this in this thread of all places.

Lie to yourself in any other thread and I allow it but I am not allowing that s*** here

you guys aren't even shrugging at a genocide for universal housing, universal income, healthcare

you aren't shrugging at genocide for anything worthwhile and its genuinely pathetic that every 4 years its "let the war machine work when we are in power we can change that"

then its "we dont have the power to change that obama cant change that what you expect"

If dems weren’t doing anything about healthcare then why does trump’s project 2025 checklist include cut Medicare and repeal the affordable care act?

Insane if you thought obama was gonna disassemble the war machine, this country is way too moderate to do anything but take occasional slow steps in the right direction. A true leftist regime like that will take time, Kamala then AOC and then further left over time.

it took centuries for civil rights and trump’s project 2025 checklist has “end civil rights” so nothing is ever over obviously. Kamala seems way more pro-Palestine in public and behind closed doors from reports, I think it might be copium but still all we can expect from this broken system is small steps.

you don’t vote, you don’t recruit, you don’t care to replace your local representative, you are just here for the ride on the status quo train

wearing anti-genocide as an aesthetic without taking the necessary steps for change is quit literally dumb logic, but you got it bro

Not voting doesn’t change war, all we can do is vote to try to make things a little better
