    And how would they be in a position to do any of those things, for good or ill? I reiterate that it’s via the electoral methods I mentioned.

    Your view of politics is extremely narrow and simple or you’re continuing to argue in bad faith. Campaigns don’t happen in a vacuum and suddenly you’re handed a ballot.

    Holy shit if only someone could have fucking forseen it!

    You missed my point entirely. My point is you are beating a dead horse and achieving nothing, save for maybe making yourself feel superior?

    And if that discourages people from voting, I don’t know what to tell you.

    There’s nothing to say. You listen about as well as you think “those idiots” listen and you appear incapable of empathy or compassion. There’s no point in discussing this any further.

      My view of political elections is very practical. The sloganeering, ads, gaffes, and endorsements are done. There’s only the actual mechanics of it left.

      And that horse is far from dead. Go to the progressivepolitics comm and see for yourself. We’ve got one year left to carry a majority in one or more houses. However that’s supposed to happen, it needs to happen.

      You listen about as well as you think “those idiots” listen and you appear incapable of empathy or compassion. There’s no point in discussing this any further.

      I have no idea what you think is supposed to happen to help the situation but if it doesn’t involve soundly defeating republicans then you might as well be living in a fascist hellscape which is what we said this time last year to the jeering jabbering of those who were too pure to vote Harris. It’s extremely fucking simple.
