    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.

                    Are you saying you don’t believe the republicans will hurt LGBT+, black people, immigrants, and help the billionaire class?
