    I’m tired of responding to this stupid sentiment

    Then dont?

    I mean you didn’t anyways, but just don’t reply.

    What would be better tho, is if you started working on making sure the next Dem candidate represents the values of the Dem voting base.

    That would be a good use of time, and we need all the help we can.

    Have fun on your moral high ground

    I voted Harris, Biden, Clinton in the last three elections. I’m just as covered in neoli eral shit as anyone else right now.

    I’m just trying to get a better candidate next time. So they get more votes.

    You know…

    Productive shit I stead of trying to split the dem voter base…

        There’s always a next time.

        It might not be at the regularly scheduled time, there might be a bunch of extra bullshit, it might take much longer…

        But there’s always a next time.

        The alternative is giving up for good, and if that’s what you want to do, that’s your choice.

        But there’s no reason for you to hang around and convince people there’s no next time and they should also give up for good.

        Unless you want to maintain the new trump status quo, which hopefully isn’t your goal here.

          The way things are looking right now - and this is only month #1- it’s hard not to feel a little disillusioned

            and this is only month #1

            For some people it is.

            Others reached that line earlier.

            A lot of those people are still regular dem voters and have been for decades, despite the disillusionment.

            Rather than fight with them, why not join them?

            Why not solidify the left?

              I hear ya. I’m starting to think the US needs a real third party and it’s not J Stein or the greens. I mean a real third party.

                Ken Martin isn’t too bad, and I hope we see some real change out of the DNC under his leadership.

                I’m fine giving them some time to see it tho, if O’Malley had won I’d be pushing for a third party right now.
