This is BEFORE negotiations with the GOP begin https://twitter.com/DebtCrisisOrg/status/1250176382891507712
I say again, with Democrats like these, who needs Republicans
The disillusionment will continue until morality improves
Fuck, that was a dyslexia goof, but it FITS doesn't it
It's just how we do things here in the New Republican Party https://twitter.com/Sarcasmorator/status/1250552103279357953
The AUDACITY of everyone claiming it's LEFTISTS who threaten this campaign's success
When you keep telling everyone below you to bite the bullet and vote for the neoliberal again, eventually you hit the bottom and are forced to vote against your own interests just like all the other plebs
Looking forward to my ~protest vote~ in the upcoming Oregon primary
You know once this "plan" hits congress it'll morph into another bailout for the rich, somehow
Giving up is what they want, of course. But, nah
It makes a lot more sense, IMO, when you see the Democratic establishment as a machine for creating disillusioned non-voters
Hold onto the voters that have enough money to energetically support a continual rightward shift, expel everyone who faces the brunt of neoliberal corruption.
What I'm saying is, in this system, a 50% voter turnout is a feature, not a bug.
Constantly pushing the lower-middle class and the poor into arguing over "lesser of two evils" voting is a feature of this system, not a bug.
The "spinelessness" is corruption. The disillusionment is a helpful side-effect.
This dynamic doesn't even have to be overt and intentional for it to play out this way. All it takes is an alignment of class interests among the wealthy. That shapes where they take decisive action, and where they don't.
If you know my rants, my thing is usually about pointing out how systems self-corrupt *without conspiracy even being necessary.* In this particular instance, I think it's maybe a little bit of both.
Yep. The yellow is also very telling: It's a mix of several groups:
1) Those who figure the choice is bullshit
2) Those too overworked to even go to the polls
3) Those too sick/otherwise encumbered to pay attention to elections

But people got mad about that 2.2% instead
No confidence needs to be an entry in every election, ffs https://twitter.com/eurekasprings/status/1250567750956789761
A system like this continues in the same direction for decades not because it is broken, but because it has fallen into a pattern that is very stable. For some people.
Yep. It only seems unstable to us because we are not the beneficiaries of the system. https://twitter.com/KerrynowCampau/status/1250568658511818752
