Vote Blue! Their platform includes
Small budget cuts to the jackbooted thugs murdering you in the streets!
Slapping billionaires on the wrist in the court of public opinion, the only court that matters!
Allowing all of their legislation to get hung up by a rotating cast of party traitors and then backing them to the hilt when a progressive candidate primaries them!
Throwing money at healthcare industry donors to fix healthcare!
Restoring faith in American alliances by promising to look the other way when any of our pals decide to genocide those naughty minorities.
Gerrymandering, but this time it's us so it's cool!
Ahem. To be clear, I'll vote against Trump any chance I get, but we are still totally fucked until we get politicians that can actually stand for something that big business doesn't donate to.
Vote bluer (progressive/DSA) in the primaries and then vote blue!
(I actually mean it though)
I've been doing that and, in a world where Democrats are actually interested in making the world better and more fair, maybe that would work.
The problem is that Democrats don't want that. They want to continue supporting big business, deporting "illegals", drone striking foreigners, making tons of money from corporate donations... But occasionally wave a rainbow flag. They want to keep our race into fascism under the speed limit, and are wondering why they're getting no traction with people who want to turn the fuck around.
If they had a platform that made even modest promises about taxing billionaires, bringing bloodsucking insurance companies and predatory banks to heel, getting the police in line etc. they'd have a wildly popular platform and they'd naturally stop trying to squash progressive candidates. But unfortunately, the corporations say fixing issues will make their stocks go down.
