Sorry, I get the spirit of the meme and it’s nice to daydream but fuck no. I don’t trust the Democrats to do anything in the interest of the people.
It's not whether you trust one absolutely or not.
It's always, as ever, relative. You pick between the options for the best bad option or you abdicate your vote and then must suffer (potentially) the worst of both worlds.
What I mean is I don’t want the Democrats to go hog wild with the law the same way the Republicans are because they are also owned by the Capitalists. Since I don’t have another choice of course I’m very likely to Vote Blue No Matter Who™️ to my great displeasure, unless a more progressive party takes the lead by a landslide and actually has a good chance of winning
Ideally they'd take over the Dem party since it would solve multiple problems simultaneously: a relevant progressive party + existing infrastructure + no neoliberal faux-progressive party that would split their vote
And that's why you have Trump destroying lives and sending the world in a vector towards endless war. Because people like you don't trust Democrats, in spite of their legislation and vote history.
I don’t trust them but they’ve gotten my vote consistently so I’m not sure why my trust has affected anything other than the calls I’ve made to their offices
You're not exactly out here in public promoting them.
If anything you're telling people not to vote for them.
Correct. They have not earned my vote. I will not promote them. They deserve my vote and my support as much as someone pointing a gun at my head does. “Hey, at least I’m not pulling the trigger like that other guy” is not a platform.
I will tell other people to vote for them when there is literally no other option because that’s all that they are - better than the alternative - but they have earned none of the suggestions I give.
