    I agree with you 100%, but that’s the reality of the situation.

    It’s great that voters have to adapt to politicians instead of the other way around.

      I never even implied it was great. Reality is often not great. It’s still reality and the reality is it’s going to be either Trump or Biden barring Trump not being allowed on ballots. So they only have two choices and not voting for Biden is a vote for Trump. That sucks, but that’s just how it is going to work in 2024. Nothing is going to change in terms of U.S. elections over the next year and to expect that is a folly.

      The reality is that American Muslims are not going to like who is president regardless. I hope they think about who is less likely to oppress them and that isn’t Trump.

        It’s great for the politicians who think they are in a position to demand unconditional fealty, and the people who matter to them. If the party doesn’t want people to act like they’re being taken advantage of, the party just has to stop taking advantage of people.

        People who have never been betrayed by the party they vote for sure love to lecture people who have.

          Excuse me, but you don’t know a fucking thing about me. As a disabled person, the Democratic Party betrayed me by not implementing single payer healthcare. You know what’s worse? Anything Trump has in mind. So no, I don’t like Democrats. I vote for them because the worst Democrat is better than the best Republican and those are the only two valid options right now.

            Wasn’t talking about you. Were you lecturing me?

              You were talking to me. Sure seemed like you were talking about me. And I can’t know what someone else on the internet would consider a lecture, but it considering I’ve been told I was lecturing by writing a paragraph, I could very well have been lecturing you from your perspective.

      We absolutely do not “have to.” This is the slightly less overtly fascist party daring us to find someone better. We absolutely can.
