    Wait lol, are you seriously blaming the Democrats for not stopping the Republikkklowns? Holy shit my dude, how was that pitcher of kool aid? This is sad. Would you also argue that if I shot and killed you, it’s your fault for not stopping me? I shouldn’t go to jail because you had your chance to do something about it and you didn’t? Terrible take 1 outta 10.

      Yes, the democrats are to blame for not stopping republicans. They barely scraped by in 2020 and have done everything in their power to depress voter turnout since. This same shit happened under Obama. In 2025 they will blame everything except their own failure to do what their voters are telling them to do.

        That is a hilariously bad take. I just dribbled coffee down my chin, It’s your fault. You weren’t here to stop me.

        Edit: If it wasn’t clear, I’m going to blame the republicans for doing what the republicans did.

          Is it really that hard to understand that when politicians fail to do what they were elected to do, they lose elections?

          We’d have a 1-party state if the democrats passed free healthcare and college in 2009 or 2021 instead of spending billions bombing brown kids on the other side of the planet and putting migrants in concentration camps.

            We’d have a one party state if everyone voted too, why do you think the republikkklowns attempt to make it soooo much harder for the blue areas to vote?

              Why would people vote for a party that won’t help them? Politicians aren’t owed a vote, they must make a credible argument to voters that they’ll improve their material conditions to be worth taking a day off work to vote. When they fail to carry out their promises, it’s very hard for them to make that argument.

                  The republicans do what their constituency wants them to do, which is punish their enemies (LGBT+, immigrants, black people, poor people) and reward (white) business owners.

                  So it’s very credible when republicans tell their base they’re gonna do those things.

                  It’s not credible when democrats tell their base they’re gonna protect roe v wade, because they’re in power now, and didn’t do it.

                    Nothing the racist rapist with 34 felonies says is true. He has negative credibility. Don’t go blaming Democrats for something the republikkklowns did. That ship has sailed.

      They had major chances to implement left wing policy during Obama’s 8 year presidency, but they gave you a right wing healthcare plan courtesy of Mitt Romney (without the public option). He bailed out the banks and kicked 5.2 million families out on the street. He dropped a record number of bombs, used drones more than anyone else.
