Do you have any evidence that the next democratic president will close Trump's new immigration camps? Because they didn't the last time. They kept all of Trump's aggressive immigration programs and even expanded them. If history is any guide, the next democratic president will be just as cruel to immigrants as Trump is now. Biden didn't let up at all from Trump's cruel treatment of immigrants. Democrats just adopted the Republican immigration polices wholesale.
Do you have any evidence that I won’t win a $60 million dollar lottery prize next week? I play the lottery occasionally…
You're giving lots of examples of things that Democrats didn't start, but chose to continue. Which party started those things?
Obviously the Republicans, but we're not voting republican we're voting Democrat right? So why the fuck don't they reverse the policies we hate? Parlimanatarian says we can't :ccc oh our friends the Republicans won't vote for it, we have to be bIpArTiSaN
That's a valid point, but
Many people are abstaining instead of voting for either party or a write in.
I don't like the idea of a 3rd party president without 3rd party representation in the senate/house/local government positions first, but I'd prefer that people vote 3rd party over not voting at all because they don't like the 2 party system.
I just do not believe a majority of leftists are refusing to vote, while at the same time understanding why they'd be dissilusioned with the "only sane option" that has so clearly demonstrated they do not actually have the will to make the changes they campaign on. Which results in a swing back the other direction by independents giving Republicans power, who WILL actually use any means necessary to put in place their horrible agenda.
Only 73% of the voting aged population is registered. Only 65% of the voting population voted. I'm not sure what the ideological breakdown of non voters is, but I'm positive leftists are in there.
