Here’s the thing: When you don’t vote, you COULD be saying that both candidates are bad, and you don’t like either of them…

Or you could be saying that both candidates are great, and you love both of them. That you’re sure either of them will do an equally good job of running the country, so it doesn’t matter who wins.

And if you don’t feel that way, then you need to VOTE

Acting like voting D would fix anything is a huge part of the problem.

Dems gave me affordable healthcare when I was young and poor.

Last Dem was progressive as fuck, but everyone focused on his age because the TV told them to.

Voting records show Dems regularly vote in favor of average Americans and have for a long, long time.

Sorry bud, reality disagrees with your feelings.

Just because a party isn’t perfect doesn’t mean they aren’t beneficial.

Democratic voters might be decent people, they at least have good intentions for the most part. That does not mean that the solutions their politicians propose are effective or helpful. I’m glad you had cheap healthcare then, but if I starved you for a month and then gave you a meal you’d be thankful for that too.

You should probably go look at the voting history for the Democrat party before you continue this conversation.

I have.

Sure, let me just go check every vote every member of the democratic party has made.

Ok. Do it. You’ll be more educated.

I didn’t review EVERY VOTE EVER.

I went back in time, randomly selecting votes and seeing how Dems voted in comparison to Repubs.

I discovered a pattern of Dems consistently voting in favor of average Americans when Repubs almost never did so.

I’ve also been alive for enough decades to have actually witnessed this trend in real time.

Willful ignorance is certainly a take.

My lefties in here like there isn’t any history of progressive change.
