    There won’t be real reforms from Democrats because they’re complicit and invested in the system staying exactly as it is. Just “nicer.”

        You must be bad at tracing IP addresses because I’m not a Russian bot. And the Democrats have ALREADY made the Republicans win, in case you haven’t noticed. I’m pointing out that political parties are a corruption of our politics and should not have direct electoral access. They should be like any other special interest group.

        I honestly can’t tell if you’re joking but Kamala lost because her policies were fascism light instead of anything representing the working class. If the Dems want working people’s vote they have to do something for them, not just say “I’m not Trump”.

        I voted blue but completely get why people wouldn’t, lessor of two evils is still evil. If the only thing a system has to offer is evil then it’s time for that system to collapse, simple as that

          I couldn’t tell either.

          We need to work to change the system. Ranked choice voting, nonpartisan elections and legislatures, etc. Oh, and money isn’t speech. It’s power.

          Okay, but that’s better than fascism, right? So stop criticizing fascism lite! It’s only hurting the opponents of fascism!

          Well… okay, maybe the police and prosecutors that Kamala Harris organized during her time as California AG hurt the opponents of fascism a bit more. But that was before we had a dang Cheeto in the White House. So, let bygones be bygones and focus on the future.

          I voted blue but completely get why people wouldn’t

          I will be very angry at you anyway. If you upset even a single independent voter on the fence about voting for Kamala, you have committed Word Crime against the cause of the Stopping Trump.

          lessor of two evils is still evil

          That’s exactly what a Russian would say. I’ve outed you as a nefarious FSB superagent here to bring down American Democracy and turn us into a nightmare hellscape of Soviet Style Communism, which is what Russia is right now.

      Exactly. The current system of government isn’t democracy, it’s competitive authoritarianism.
