What you’re not getting is this,
Democrats dont’ cater to leftists, because leftists generally don’t vote. They don’t need to apeal to your vote, becasue you already don’t vote for them.
If leftists got organized and became an actual voting block (the same way the religous right is, for example) then Democrats would be forced to apeal to them. But leftists by and by don’t vote. They’ll do other things like go to protests, but they won’t go to the polls.
That’s how voting works, your’e not asking the politican to do something, you’re telling them to do it. And if they don’t do it, you vote in someone else. The insane tea-party maga crazies understand this much, it astounds me that leftists in this county don’t do the same.

So while we’re changing the system, can we all agree to vote against Republicans by default?
Because let’s be real here, the Republicans have consistently fucked this country up, while Democrats have largely had to spend thier time in office getting shit back to normal.
This has been the pattern nearly my whole life: Republicans get elected, fuck everything up, take away rights, economy crashes. People get pissed, vote in Democrats. Democrats spend their whole time in office just getting stuff back to the status quo, then also sometimes maybe make itty-bitty steps of actual progress. People forget how bad Republicans were and vote them back in because they’re fucking stupid. Republicans fuck everything up again. Repeat, ad nauseam.
So pretty please, with sugar on top, vote against the fucking republicans.

Lol ok. Like Canada is any better.
Your hillbillies are like 10 times worse than ours.

We wouldn’t have to leave if people would just vote against the obvious fascists.
Voting is the absolutle minimum, and 60% of eligible voters don’t even bother.
