  • Gee, wonder why Democrats have a likability issue. You don’t need to alienate people for them. Unless you hate them? It’s always so hard to tell with you all

    Most people I speak with, most average Americans, have a HUGE problem with the two party system and are open to things like approval or ranked choice voting. Go to any bar and talk to anyone. In terms of democracy, that’s majority voters. Since I’m not authoritarian or fascist, I think it’s important for representatives to hear issues like these and represent their people’s wishes.

    Both parties benefit from preventing progress. That’s why we are hashing out abortion issues from the fucking 70s. We’re arguing about child care, something Republicans wanted originally in…again, the 70s.

    Democrat politicians are NOT making this a central talking point because they benefit from ignoring their base. You’re right that they enjoy bypassing their civic duty as representatives of everyone. If they wanted to, they’d all be talking about it at every campaign to make it a theme/rally cry. They choose not to and to use old talking points that you can hear more eloquently said from the original trials and speeches of the 70s. It’s a niche issue in the media. It’s intentionally ignored by Democrat leadership. It’s desired and known by most people.

    Unfortunately for you, I’m aware of the power I have as an individual. I will keep talking and keep advocating.
