I agree too. I'm over voting for ineffective, limp dick, billionaire cucked, liberals. Shit's slid too far out of balance on their watch and all they're offering is the same old playbook. I will say, I still get constantly down voted here depending on which server I'm floating around in.
Not even democratic voters like their candidates, this is not a "leftist purity" problem, it's literally just a leadership problem
Honestly, it’s only a problem if only a few follow their convictions and the rest don’t. But if a big minority were to arise, even surpass democrats, they’d have to finally start thinking about changing the system, lest they get dropped because of this very fucking system. But that only ever works if those who shit on dems actually put the money where their mouth is. As long as anyone is going to give in and eat the shit of voting for d just because they are not r, not because they want to, then it’s always going to just go to shit and benefit the opposite side. So either everyone has to accept to drop their ideals and morals and vote d consistently, or everyone who feels dissatisfied them, everyone, votes third way. Anything in between is just winning for the r side.
The system is fucking terrible, I can’t believe it still exists and keeps on existing.
