I have problems with people who abstained. The hard thing is, how do you change voter behavior?

    This push to demonize the strawman protest voters is an ongoing propaganda campaign to cause poor people to infight.

      Strawman?

      6.27 Million more people voted for Biden in 2020 than Harris in 2024. That’s not strawmanning, those fuckers stayed home and that is exactly why we are in the current situation.

          If I’m offered a plate of tomatoes, which I hate, and a pile of shit as choices to eat, both are not palatable to me. But that doesn’t make them the same.

            Yes but if the person handing you the tomatoes had been handing you tomatoes your entire life while promising chocolate cake you’d be a lot less happy about it. Especially if they also said “We’re not going to change anything and if you have a problem with tomatoes you need to take Econ 203 to understand why you’re wrong for being upset.”

            Democrats need to get people enthusiastic to vote. Not getting shit on a plate is not enough to get people to vote.
