"Grab em by the pussy" should have been the end of it. But that wasn't a dealbreaker for enough people.

EXACTLY.

Even if they're not 100% in agreement (and face it, NO ONE will be) vote for the one who most closely aligns with you.

7 million voters decided that not voting an allowing Trump to be elected was somehow the best thing for the world, as you said to "teach democrats a lesson"

And now we see how that's working out. Trump would be in prison right now if it weren't for them.

@benroyce @CStamp @horqua @scottmiller42 @roknrol @mikelovesbikes @retech

What we need to cut out is useful fool "purity" demands that every candidate must agree with you on every issue (or one particular issue in particular) or we won't vote - helping the Republicans win in order to teach "The Democrats" a lesson.

@benroyce @CStamp @horqua @scottmiller42 @roknrol @mikelovesbikes @retech

Like it or not, Trump is unpopular on policy issues, like the Iran War and inflation. Democrats who are winning elections are winning on alternative policies.

@benroyce @CStamp @horqua @scottmiller42 @roknrol @mikelovesbikes @retech

We have to give up caring about policy right now. We have to fix the big problem (Fascism) and then we can get down to actually helping people.

@benroyce @CStamp @horqua @scottmiller42 @roknrol @mikelovesbikes @retech

probably.

Kids don't have enough Rolling Stones in their lives...

"You can't always get what you wa-ant...

But if you try sometimes, you get what you need."

They're quick to give up the trying part.. I see this in my own kids all the time. They give up at the first sign of disappointment.

@horqua @benroyce @scottmiller42 @roknrol @retech

I'm just saying that we can't accomplish this with the exact same "energy" as what people on the right are doing.

We care about policy. We have earnest internal debates on what the policies should be. What the priorities should be. I don't think that can, or should, be changed.

So we have to find our own way to promote voting.

@CStamp @horqua @scottmiller42 @roknrol @mikelovesbikes @retech

Then we will keep losing.

It's a two-party system, as much as it shouldn't be, it is, and with the 270 to win, until we get rid of the electoral college it's never going to change.

So you have to work from within.

In the primaries, vote as far left as you can. If it came to AOC vs. Hillary Clinton in a primary, I'd vote for AOC every time.

But in the general, I'll vote for the democrat, I no matter who.

it's the only way the world doesn't end soon.

@CStamp @benroyce @horqua @scottmiller42 @roknrol @mikelovesbikes @retech

Your commentary on age may be a reason why.

@ShredderFeeder @benroyce @scottmiller42 @roknrol @retech

It's easy to make things worse, but it's difficult to make things better. If all you care about is making things worse for certain "others", there's lots of ways to do that. If you actually want to change things for the better ... well, that's not so simple.

@CStamp @benroyce @horqua @scottmiller42 @roknrol @mikelovesbikes @retech

The right knows he's not really a christian, they just don't care. He drags the world to the right and that's all they care about.

We need to bring that same energy. The "more left" a candidate is the better, even if they're not as far left as you'd like.

@isaackuo @benroyce @horqua @scottmiller42 @roknrol @mikelovesbikes @retech

"No. But politics does you."
