5 Reasons I left the Democratic party: 1. @JoeBiden 2. @SpeakerPelosi 3. They refuse to support #MedicareForAll despite the fact that 88% of Democratic voters do. 4. They are NOT “for the people.” They are for their corporate donors. 5. The “lesser of 2 evils” is still EVIL.

I think some people don't understand that if you keep voting for the lesser evil, you end up with a Trump like figure.

It's quite the opposite. If more people had voted for the lesser of two evils last time, Trump would never have become president.

If we don't vote and we aren't active within the system, we can't complain about it. And I say that as someone who was trashed royally doing it. Great progressives are running down-ballot but aren't getting support from people who claim to be so progressive. We can't just whine.

But I sense that we are. I hope you heal fully, by the way, and that your circumstances turn around soon.

They never will if the Democrats keep moving the overton window further and further right. There's no opposition party. They both serve the same corporate interests. The rest of us don't matter as long as they get those bribes

I mean people in politics need to start realizing that the reason why a lot of us feel way more comfortable and hopeful when people are burning buildings down is because that seems to be the only time any change happens around here. Otherwise everyone just checks out
