    It does matter because this political theater is just that theater while we continue to ratchet right. We’re so far right we are at what may be the beginnings of a holocaust. Our bffs are committing genocide so yea that relationship is super relevant especially if they are influencing our agenda. The democratic response to mandami was to condemn democratic socialism. Democratic socialism is the only thing that has ever given the world a healthy middle class under capitalism. The democrats condemn that? In my long life I have seen the democrats magically find a few representatives to block anything that helps the working class.

      They’re a liberal party their primary concern is preserving capitalism. No matter how you slice it you’re getting capitalism and genocide. Do you want that to come with a democrat or a republican?

        I’ve been playing this blue no matter who game for a very long time and things literally keep getting worse and more facist. My family lost everything in 2008 my mom literally died from that. It’s getting old. Nobody is ever held accountable and the economic recovery went to the people who screwed us. Jobs got shitter and underpaid underemployed became the new norm

          And? You think that would’ve been better if we only had Republicans the whole time? Everything was literally going to get worse and more fascist anyway.

          Blue no matter who isn’t a solution, it’s a strategy to delay fascism as much as possible while we build a better option. If you aren’t playing BNMW, you’re not lasting long enough to to fix anything. If that’s all you’re doing, then yeah everything’s still gonna get worse, just slowly.
