      There has to be a limit or Democrats can just do whatever they want, because you’ll always vote for them. Hence, blue MAGA. That’s a cult.

        As someone else said, getting the Republicans elected will not improve anything if people don’t change things from the bottom up (it will actually make everything you’re angry about worse). The Democrats won’t change their stances if they lose that election unless new people take the place of the politicians in place at the moment, they will just rely on people being angrier at the Republicans than they are at them after Trump’s next term, the result will be four years of things getting even worse and the Democrats having to fix even more shit when they get back in power in 2028.

          Why would Democrats fix anything? They can just use the threat of Republicans to get reelected. Fixing things is not in their interests, because you will vote for them even if they don’t fix anything at all.

              The “secured the border” part is so funny. yeah man, the same racist border policies and migrant camps people were rightfully criticizing when Red Team was in power are super cool and good when Blue Team is in power

              I didn’t say that he didn’t do anything. I said he doesn’t need to do anything. Even if he did literally nothing at all you would still vote for him. You are a completely captured voter, you have no choice but to support the Party. They have you hostage and you love it.

              Also this graphic is misleading. The three that jumped out at me:

              Forcing police to wear body cameras is good, but the number of fatal police shootings has only gone up under Biden’s term in office. In fact, even though the Washington Post’s Fatal Force database has shown fatal shootings have increased, fewer fatal police shootings are recorded by the federal government every year. These fatalities are being covered up, despite the cameras.

              Stopping the Keystone XL pipeline is good, but oil production hit a record under Biden. He stopped one highly visible project to satisfy protesters and continued to put us on the path to global catastrophe while people were looking away.

              He “secured the border” by reaching across the isle to pass fascist legislation so he can keep putting kids in cages. He doesn’t seperate families, so now they all get to sit together in cramped prison conditions as the number of detentions has soared. You think this is a good thing? This one really pisses me off, what Biden is doing to migrants and asylum seekers is as bad as Trump ever was.

              Don’t get your political news from memes.

                No, in fact I don’t vote for him because I don’t live in the USA, I just argue with idiots who think they’ll save Palestinians by not voting in the next US election.

                  I’m voting Dem in the downticket races, I’m just writing Aaron Bushnell in for President.

                  If Democrats think they can kill anyone they want and get away with it then they will. They’re only a lesser evil because they think they need to be to win over voters. If they realize they can be as evil as they want, why would they ever stop?
