    with the exact same policy, but it’s a woman or a POC doing the policy

    That’s just objectively false. No, their policy isn’t good enough, but to pretend that it’s exactly the same is disingenuous.

    The Democrats are always going to be controlled opposition, I just care about them beating MAGA long enough to develop an alternative that can actually replace them. I don’t vote for representation, the ones who represent me don’t have enough support to win yet. I’m voting for the easier-to-defeat enemy.

      This is so self defeating. If every person that said this just voted their beliefs instead of spreading this ideology like a cancer, if the Democrats even have a party left after that, you would be able to use your bloc to pressure them into being everything you say they are.

      They said the same shit when Bernie ran in the primaries “oh, he’s too old, he’s not electable!!” until they realized that Bernie was too popular and just rat fucked the primary instead. He wasn’t even running on the date of the primary and he still got half the votes that Biden did!!

      You realize there are republicans that think this way too? It doesn’t only benefit democrats. Not all Republicans are fully behind Trump, but they’ll be damned if they vote for a democrat.

      Parties win when people vote for them. That includes you. Stop spreading this self defeating, voter shaming ideology just to fucking lose elections because the democratic platform is hollow ineffective bullshit that the dems served up knowing you’ll fucking vote for it anyways.

      They are not easier to defeat or someone would have done it in the last 40 years. They are sloppy and old but don’t think that it makes them any easier especially when they aim to represent the Status Quo.
