    Is this a wind-up?

    Every good thing the government has done in the last 50 years. On rare occasion with help from conservatives. Expanded healthcare, pandemic plans (thrown away by trump), and forgiven student loans for three random things.

    Democratic party.

      Those are great examples! Next time you try to convince someone use positive examples instead of just kvetching, it’s much more impactful.

      Also I’ll start calling it the Democratic party after DWS and crew stop rigging the primaries.

        You need examples to support the one national political party with the only viable progressive policies in the last 50 years?

        Oh wait - are you not a US voter? If not, my apologies, I can link handy lists of important Democratic policies, but I default to thinking people are already familiar with US politics. Since Reagan the differences have been very stark.

          Please stop being intentionally obtuse, it’s hella disingenuous. You are obviously experienced enough to know that me shitting on the dems in the DWS era means I’ve been an active lefty for at least a decade.

          Edit: lol I forgot to switch from my porn alt for this conversation

              Oh wait, are you not a US voter? If not, I will explain it to you (even though I already did two comments ago). Debbie Wasserman-Schultz runs the Democrat party. It’s one of two political parties in the USA.

                Wrong, wrong again, and wrong yet again.

                DWS resigned in 2016 after Berniegate.

                The Democratic party is how it’s spelled, make a fucking effort for gods sake and

                There are 53 parties in the USA.

                This concludes the Lightning Round of Oh My God Just Give It Up. G’night Everybody!

              OH! Debbie Wasserman-Schulz. Yes. Right.

              True, I missed that. So yeah if you’re looking for examples of why people should vote for the Democratic party (and don’t know to call it the Democratic party) and you’ve been an active lefty with a porn account for 10 years, I dunno what to tell ya. There’s lots of resources to explain why voting for something good is better than allowing everythig bad to win.
