I realize the sidebar says centrists are welcome here, so maybe that’s your problem but, given the community name, do you actually consider yourself a progressive with that shit take?
It’s pretty obvious what happens when you vote. Sure, the Democrats really only represent status quo. But by voting for them at least you don’t regress into fucking fascism. It’s been shitty and I really hope Schumer kicks the bucket already so we can get leadership in the only party that even vaguely resembles a functioning representation of a democracy. But the whole “VoTe YoUr IdEaLs” approach just results in… regression. If you want your ideals to be represented then fucking run for office or be rich enough to splash large amounts of money and influence the vote.
I’m putting blame on the people responsible for the current situation. So people don’t forget who to blame when things get worse.
When the people responsible for things getting worse decide “this wasn’t what I voted for” or “I didn’t know”, it’s on the rest of us to hold them accountable.
I find it strange that I have more upvotes while you have more down votes. Even in a place that you consider your community
I’m not here because it’s a progressive community; I’m here because this post was on my “All Posts” feed, and no one had countered your dumb comment yet, so I felt it was important to do so before blocking you.
You were offended by that fact and are trying to belittle me by stating I am certain things.
I’m not commenting to make you feel any type of way- pretty self-absorbed that you would think so, actually. I’m commenting because you’re spouting bullshit, and I felt that it shouldn’t stand on its own without accompanying dissent.

Not only do the Democrats not do anything to stop fascism, they actively pave the way for it
When did I say that I was anything?

You didn’t have to, lol
I’m not here specifically because it’s a progressive community.
I’m here because this post was on my “All Posts” feed.
I had something I needed to say, so I said it. What I said is literally a fact.
You were offended by that fact and are trying to belittle me by stating I am certain things. It won’t work.
I find it strange that I have more upvotes while you have more down votes. Even in a place that you consider your community. I wonder why that is.

You tried to counter my “bullshit” but failed because you’re wrong.
You’re blocking me because you can’t handle that I’m right.
Edit: That’s fine honestly. It’s one of the things I like most about Lemmy. You can block anything.
Lol
