    I literally just listed multiple progressive policies the Democrats passed. Still waiting for someone to provide one example of how not voting has helped anyone. Amazing how privileged and dumb your take is, although ultimately I guess it doesn’t matter because you’re basically proud of being completely inconsequential.

      Ok. You started with Supreme Court that only ruled on gay marriage because the cowardly legislators we vote on were too scared of or complicit with bigots to actually pass on their own.

      Obamacare was a heritage foundation policy that the worthless corrupt democrats watered down, but it’s the last thing of any consequence your party passed and you and the rest of the centrists have been coasting on being able to pass republican policy ever since. Great “work”.

      And that was it. Two things. Taking credit for the judicial branch and touting republican policy as a huge win.

      Now tell us how you idolize ICE some more.

        You realize Supreme Court justices are still the products of elections, right? People elect Presidents who appoint Supreme Court Justices. Obergefell v. Hodges was a 5-4 decision, so if just one of those Justices was not appointed, then the decision fails.

        Obamacare was a heritage foundation policy that the worthless corrupt democrats watered down, but it’s the last thing of any consequence your party passed and you and the rest of the centrists have been coasting on being able to pass republican policy ever since. Great “work”.

        It’s funny how you’re trying to hand wave away policy that helps millions of people while the only alternative solution you’re offering is to not vote for the left wing party in a two-party system.

        Now tell us how you idolize ICE some more.

        Find me one country in the world that does not have a border patrol agency or does not spend money on border enforcement. Valid criticisms of ICE would be pointing out how differently it operates under different party administrations.

        I have now realized as I login to this account on my computer instead of phone that this is lemmy.ml post and I’m talking to Tankies. I don’t respect your opinion and think you are a joke so I’m going to stop engaging further. If you live in the US then congratulations on having on zero impact and unquestionably worsening your own life. If you don’t then I assume you are a bot. And in either case to become a Tankie you pretty clearly have failed on quite a few levels in your personal life, so for that you have my condolences.

          First of all, you don’t need to be a condescending dickhead just because you don’t feel like actually addressing anything I wrote. Then again, since you’re a centrist and nothing you can ever say will ever have any merit whatsoever, I guess you have to resort to the only thing you are capable of. You want to talk supreme court justices? FUCKING FINE, let’s talk about them. I remember when the same Democrats you worship just let McConnell steal a supreme court seat because they loved their precious filibuster more than anything and only got rid of it for judicial appointments after it was too late. And gay marriage was decided by the supreme court because the democrats we elect didn’t bother to do it themselves via actual legislation because they’re useless cowards at all times.

          It’s funny how you’re trying to hand wave away policy that helps millions of people

          Since it was 15 years ago and it was heritage foundation policy to start with that was then watered down so it would help as few people as they thought they could get away with, yeah. People still can’t afford healthcare, but you’ll pretend they can until the end of time rather than expect better from democrats.

          while the only alternative solution you’re offering is to not vote for the left wing party in a two-party system.

          Fuck you, you godddamned liar. I have NEVER, EVER suggested to not vote for democrats. And you love them because they’re one of two RIGHT-WING parties. You get the results you want either way. You get your beloved genocide. You get your concentration camps and bombing brown people. You get an untenable status quo that keeps getting worse.

          Find me one country in the world that does not have a border patrol agency or does not spend money on border enforcement.

          You sound exactly like every bigoted MAGA chud when you spew their talking points. And there’s a reason for that.

          Valid criticisms of ICE would be pointing out how differently it operates under different party administrations.

          There is no criticism of ICE that you would accept as valid.

          Anything you need to dismiss any opinion to the left of your god donald trump.
