    Sure but most of them didn’t vote to increase the budget 400% leading to all the nonsense we see today.

      It’s always just the right amount of Democrats though. And if you replace any, there will always be another Democrat to take the fall.

            Ok but hear me out, most of those tens of millions of voters don’t think the Democrats will save them, it’s just if you have any political stance other than white nationalist, they are the only viable alternative.

            You a lefty or a centrist? What are you gonna do, vote green party in the nationals?

            “Blue no matter who” isn’t a rallying cry of solidarity, it’s really saying “We’re the best you’ve got, so vote for us even if we suck”

              That’s exactly the problem!

              The “best we’ve got” are working WITH the white nationalists, our parties are co-dependent AND switch their platform at whim regardless.

              For example, Democrat used to mean “labor party”. They abandoned labor a long time ago, it was dead by the 1990s. They abandoned labor once they were in power.

              Republican used to mean “state’s rights”. They abandoned State’s rights very recently once they were in power.

              Both parties have the same “employers” and our “issues” aren’t even really issues. We’re distracted with gay marriage so we don’t actually address international banking cartels controlling our “money” supply, insider trading, asset forfeiture, and so on, endless real issues with tens of millions of citizens robbed blind with no end in sight.

                So you recognize that people voted Democrat because they didn’t have alternatives, but you said that “tens and millions of voters” actually believed in the Democrats saving them? So which is it?

                  Sure, I recognize that. I vote Democrat (registered Independent)

                  I just don’t think it will save us. Or improve anything. I try to think of it as a poll, not something that will affect change.

                  Tens of millions think voting will work, tens of millions don’t bother, and everything in between. So, to answer your question, “both”

                    If voting didn’t mean anything, Republicans wouldn’t try so hard to keep black people from doing it. It’s still not a silver bullet, but it’s still important. Blaming people for voting Democrat, when the people causing the problems are Republican, is stupid.
