The definition of insanity is to do the same thing and expect a different result.

Get the vote out for the Democrats, who have generally been the opposite of the smash-and-grab Republicans for the last several decades.
Don’t believe the agitators here and elsewhere pushing their targeted anti-Democrat messages to the benefit of the far-right. There really is a substantial difference in ethics, public good, stability, and recognition of reality and large-scale problems (like climate change)

You either vote against fascism or you don’t.
You can call me insane if you like. But at least I’m not a fascist.
Are you?
NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 3 weeks ago
Well congrats, fascism doesn't care about your vote anymore. Consider doing something about it.

It’s the bare minimum. For you to lambast the suggestion of doing the bare minimum would imply you prefer doing nothing, not doing more.

No, it’s not. It’s just a cop-out phrass.

Vote democrat but ffs vote in the primaries as well!
The way to fix the Do Nothing Democrats is stop giving them a free pass every election. If Americans would just primary all the bought and owned politicians they could take back their democracy for good instead of 1 step forward 2 steps back every 8 years.

Why do you say “do-nothing” when we’ve seen the ACA, IRA, multiple impeachments, even balancing the budget and the 1996 telecom act; or going back further, the Apollo program, Clean Air act, Civil Rights act, Voting Rights act, Medicare, etc.
What did we get from Nixon, Reagan, Bush, Bush, and Trump?

The republicans and the democrats are the sword and shield of the wealthy elites respectively.
Tell me which of those democrat accomplishments you expect to matter in the slightest once trump finishes consolidating power? Especially the impeachments.
None of them will. Unless democrats do something about it.

Lol, it’s the Democrat’s fault that Republicans are tearing it down! Of course!
OP, this is what I’m talking about.

Obama promised universal healthcare and then implemented fucking Romneycare, a policy written by the Heritage Foundation. And this was Obama was one of the most progressive presidents in the past few decades. "Do nothing" is flattering them.
