Congratulation to Melat Kiros, this just proves what I’ve so often claimed here on Lemmy.
That the best bet for change, is to become a member of the Democratic party, and help change it from within.If only more young people saw this reality rather than the moronic:
“DEMS BAD! LET DEMS LOSE TO FASCIST TO TEACH DEMS LESSON! OH WAIT, WHY ARE WE NOW COMMITTING 500 MORE GENOCIDES AND NO LONGER HAVE FAIR ELECTIONS?”
Nobody is saying that, they’re saying to set a minimum standard to vote democrat so that candidates like this get elected. This is where they gloat and say they were right.

Shedding a tear for the country I once admired. 😥The ratchet effect is non-voters doing jack shit to clean things up while the sycophants continue to get their way. Cant blame the Dems for that one.
Why do you think you hear so many ‘Leftists’ screaming Both Sides Are The Same?
Nonvoting always helps the Right, because those guys go to the polls every chance they get.
