I'm not blaming voters but I am pointing out that it won't work and it's self defeating, what they do with that is their business

i understand where you're coming from but what are your ideals worth if the execution only causes things to get worse for the very people you want to help?

please note i don't mean you specifically but those that held their vote.

i understand being pissed at the Democrats. I will never say you should stop holding them accountable, just that holding your vote does way, WAY more damage than good

no the United States together, both branches choose, yes the Democrats fucked up but they did not do so in isolation.

that's the least pragmatic take I've ever heard, conditions in gaza have nothing but accelerated since Republicans took power, voting is not the only way to apply pressure.

I'd like you to take note of how you're never critical of Republicans.

hey remember when we held our votes so that the Democrats would stop supporting genocide? congrats, now they're supporting 2 genocides (and probably a lot more I'm not aware of)

I had no idea I'm sorry I thought that it was a much more militant draft than that

i mean, a needless loss of life is terrible, especially considering most of their soliders are conscripts with little choice in the matter.

However fuck Putin for making this happen.

And yet voters will see no difference between the two.

This is the crux of most sleep deprivation: loss of control. People stay up late because they want more time that they get to control. it's brutal because it's self defeating.

i actually didn't read into it, I've just always heard the narrative that the DNC snubbed Bearnie, did the propaganda catch me?

people are just pissed and venting about past inaction, is it useful? no, but I think the frustration of your country turning to fascism after Bernie's electoral chances were sabotaged is understandable
