    If it wasn’t clear I don’t want it to happen…but over the years I have felt pretty disenfranchised by the actions of the party vs the will of the voters, and I am still going to vote for them.

      Last time we didn’t vote for Hillary we ended up with a fascist Supreme Court. I’ll hold my judgment.

      This is why things have gotten progressively worse, they can do anything they want, including ignoring their base, and rest assured it won’t cost them votes.

        But the alternative is a gamble on fascism, in a 2 party system you have to pick the establishment you dislike least.

                Except, by refusing to participate, you are. That’s how our system works. It’s stupid, but that’s how it works.

                  There’s a better chance of you voting for a republican than any left is voting for a Democrat. We vote for what we want to see in government. Not constantly voting against something. Voting against something is a protest vote, that’s the wasted one

                    No, you’re voting to move in the right direction.

                    Voting is like taking the bus, you get on the one going the direction you want. And then, you get on another bus that continues to take you towards your destination.

                    You don’t get on a bus going the opposite direction, or refuse to go at all unless there’s a bus going from your front door direct to your destination. That’s just stupidity. That’s what you’re advocating for, and we’re never going to get to a better place if people like you don’t wake up and see that.

                But you will be, though. Standing by and not even voting does not mean you are morally superior.

                  There is no difference between red or blue fascism, one is openly racist, bigoted, and fascist. The other is covert

              Voting for Biden or whoever his replacement is the subjugation, and liberals cheer on their own suppression

                LOL, and if the Republicans seize power they’ll say “hold my beer” when it comes to any supposed “suppression” being done by Biden.

                  Private prisons, welfare reform, crime bill, cop cities, providing military equipment to cops, arresting protesters, this list of subjugation by democrats is near endless. Republicans are no better, but we know what to expect from them
