Do you remember what they did with that ~70 days they had to pass legislation? Affordable Care Act? Let's not act like they don't pass shit when we give them the legislative ability to do so. 51-49 that includes people like Sinema and Manchin is not a majority.
The vast majority of elected Democrats support and vote for raises to the minimum wage and codifying Roe. 100% of elected Republicans oppose those things, and it's the Democrats that are failing us?
Oh, they passed the Affordable Care Act?
Healthcare is SO available and affordable now, huh?
Then you come in and say "but it wasn't even a real supermajority!"... that supermajority. Not even realizing you are saying even with a supermajority, there isn't one, because it's all the same muddle.
It must be exhausting for you to still shill that hard.
Register independent. Vote third party. It's our only hope to end Party Fascism.
FTFY
You're naive af if you think voting 3rd party in the presidential elections will do anything more than entrench fascism into this country and likely solve your issue with party voting, just not how you want.
At this point they seem to be willfully ignorant or just having malicious intent.
Yeah, anyone dumb enough to suggest voting 3rd party in the presidential elections should be mocked because their political opinions aren't even worth wiping my ass with. And that's the charitable interpretation of it.
I fully endorse going 3rd party at the local level and building up support for alternative candidates, but going straight for the president is a negative IQ move.
