    Sorry, I get the spirit of the meme and it’s nice to daydream but fuck no. I don’t trust the Democrats to do anything in the interest of the people.

      And that’s why you have Trump destroying lives and sending the world in a vector towards endless war. Because people like you don’t trust Democrats, in spite of their legislation and vote history.

      It’s not whether you trust one absolutely or not.

      It’s always, as ever, relative. You pick between the options for the best bad option or you abdicate your vote and then must suffer (potentially) the worst of both worlds.

        What I mean is I don’t want the Democrats to go hog wild with the law the same way the Republicans are because they are also owned by the Capitalists. Since I don’t have another choice of course I’m very likely to Vote Blue No Matter Who™️ to my great displeasure, unless a more progressive party takes the lead by a landslide and actually has a good chance of winning

          Ideally they’d take over the Dem party since it would solve multiple problems simultaneously: a relevant progressive party + existing infrastructure + no neoliberal faux-progressive party that would split their vote
