Great work!?!? Atta boy!?!? What are ya looking for here? The world is burning and you didn't bother to do the one small thing that could have made a difference, and you think that's something to brag about?
Over 10,000 people have died so far just from USAID cuts, and another 23,000 from the PEPFAR funding freeze. Those numbers alone are ticking up faster than the Gaza death toll,which is still happening BTW. But, not to worry, Rodneyck kept his integrity, and that's what's really important.
Politics is about achieving the best possible outcome, not making personal virtue statements.
Great work!?!? Atta boy!?!? Keep putting the neo-libs/neo-cons in power because orange man bad! Your vote for Clinton gave us NAFTA, a free trade agreement that created the economic mess, shipping jobs overseas and destroying our industry here in the US, a nightmare that we are living through today. How many lives destroyed, tent cities has your vote created?
Speaking of Barack, your vote allowed him to immediately pivot to bailing out banks allowing them to give their CEO's bonuses during one of the largest housing crisis, they created btw, displacing homeowners across the country. He also didn't really put any regulations in place to prevent this happening again, which many analyst predict will be soon. Those banks, btw, also funded a lot of his campaign. How many lives destroyed there with your vote?
Politics is about achieving the best possible outcome, and not making personal decisions to compromise your morals.
Yes, Democrats suck, so you should not vote for them. You have been trying to "replace" them for decades. How is that working out for you? Your continuous "save the dems" voting has created this mess. There is no coming over to the progressive side, because the progressive side doesn't exist in that party. The clear answer is we need a new workers party, one with a strong leader. I will continue to work towards that, but will never vote for another neo-lib/neo-con uni-party again.
You too have been trying to "replace" them for decades. How is that working out for you? We've gotten a few elected and pushed a few more in that direction. Where is your progress? You don't get to start the clock over every election and pretend that your approach hasn't been tried.
I'm talking about voters, and I think that was pretty clear. If all you do in alienate voters, then your movement is nothing but performative.
All the real progressives have moved out of the dem party, most are now independent (which is the largest party now) and/or has stopped voting all together. You have lost the "win back the progressives" ...try something different and stop electing neo-liberal/neo-cons who vote against your interests, ie stop ruining the country.
