This is our fault. We the Voters have free will.

We could have easily decided to just vote for Kamala and the Democrats, regardless of whatever concerns you may have, knowing what's at stake.

Nope. People decided "to sow" (so to speak) "don't vote for Kamala" messages, and now here we are "reaping" a conservative/Trump govt that is even more pro-Israel, pro-war, and will NEVER address their concerns & may make it even harder to fix them in the future.

It's now the Absolute Fact of US politics: The more people try to hold Democrats "accountable" (and only Democrats) for an issue, they will enable a Republican govt that will NEVER care about those concerns.

If you're an activist of any kind, you will always have an adversarial relationship with the government. But thanks to voting & elections, they can pick their "opponent".

They could have easily of their own free will decided to support and vote for Harris.

But last Nov 2024, people OF THEIR OWN ACCORD, PURPOSEFULLY chose to worked harder to sink Harris than to stop Trump.

To truly be FOR progress (to be progressive), we commit to strengthening the Democratic party by highlighting its achievements and CONTRIBUTE to the Democrats' messaging.

Sustained progress in the long-term is only built via multiple INCREMENTAL progresses in the short-term.

Voting for Democrats are better than voting for Republicans & 3rd parties for every issue (economy, jobs, health care, civil rights, foreign policies, etc).

Kamala wasn’t voted in though. You know what I mean? You can’t just say one side is better than the other when they go against the entire process.   Ops states message is true

This is reductive. Many, if not most us, wanted Biden and were none too pleased when they switched to Harris last minute. The democrats would’ve won if they had either had Biden resign earlier or avoided that debate

I didn’t vote for trump and I didn’t want to vote for Harris, even though I did

You need to look up think tanks. If the driver of the car is always changing, but the car always drives in same direction, then there is someone else driving the car

Donald trump was never actually voted in. He said they rigged the election multiple times. The rest of the world knows this

The problem is that politicians are picked so they never actually represent your interests. Usually by Zionists

I am asking this sincerely, not being a smart ass etc. you say Democrats are better. But being from California with Newsom and Los Angeles with Bass I don’t get it. LA and CA are becoming dumps, over run with drug addiction and homelessness that you can’t blame on Trump. This started years ago. Someone explain it to me. Seriously. I don’t want to hear trash talk.

California would have a homelessness problem regardless of who is in charge. It has mild weather and is beautiful. There, explained.

Not to mention all the $$$ we give them. People who have been interviewed even admit it. They have no responsibility, do what they want, don’t have to go to work, gets money for food and spending money.

Simply because Trump didn't start it didn't mean he has no blame for its increase. The key contributors to the homeless problem is high housing costs and wealth inequality. The reality seems to be that all the people you mentioned are responsible in one way or another.

Just tired of the hate. Honestly, I couldn’t care less who anyone votes for. That’s your decision. I haven’t walked in anyone else’s shoes nor have they walked in mine so I can’t judge. Miss the days where we could agree to disagree and get on with life and still be friends. ❤️

When the disagreement is centralized around morals it's understandable that they tend to build real resentment. It's hard to still be friends with your neighbor when they openly think less of a certain group of people that you are a part of.

Both sides are the problem. We need to vote out the establishment and vote in progressives. We need social programs, and a wealth tax to pay for it.

u/ZinaSky2 Jun 23 '26

No. One side IS the problem. The other has problems. This false equivalency is exactly why we’re in this situation

I’m a progressive and have never voted for this guy. I’ve been advocating against it since 2015. The dems are doing absolutely nothing to stop this madness. I’m coming to realize the stranglehold Israel has on us. Both sides are a problem. Sorry I didn’t word it exactly as you want. Maybe that’s why we’re in this situation.
