Dude, you are preaching to someone who gets what will happen if folks don’t vote for Biden. Please do vote for him for the love of all that is decent and stable and a chance at an actual future for democracy.
I’m not here to point out how it’s great that human brains are like this… I’m just trying to paint reality for you.
Dumb monkey brain. Immediate simple reward. No complex means-tested mazes of garbage to wade through.
Cancel all student debt. Make college tuition-free. Cancel medical debt.
Do it, even if the Rs scream it’s illegal. Do it. And when they stop it with their corrupt rich-asshole appointed Supreme Court, point at the Rs and yell “SEE?! THEY DON’T YOU TO HAVE GOOD THINGS! THEY HATE YOU!” And expand the court. And then you win elections.

They are doing that. You can see it’s been picked up by corporate news like wildfire. Or - what’s the opposite of wildfire.
I agree. I’ve been arguing this point against decades of Republican-lite tone-deaf dipshit Dem leaders. For those who don’t know, believe it or not, it’s finally moving - just as the “waah dems didn’t give me a pony” crowd are so helpfully parroting russian GRU talking points to depress turnout.
Yeah on the whole Dems have gone through plenty of ineffective and blatantly counter activity in the last 50 years. But they’ve also been the mechanism by which anything good has been legislated. Sometimes with Republicans’ help, usually not.
And because the electoral college is such a lopsided slave-owner cheat device, third party is most definitely only detrimental at this time. Yeah, like last time, yeah like every other time we’ve had to deal with the electoral college which is, uh, at least the last 50 years.
“Weeeahh but why don’t democrats get rid of the electoral college”. FFS. Yeah. Why. It’s probably a grand bougie conspiracy. OR - or, okay, a complicated and massive governmental change which is almost impossible to do without overwhelming public support.
Sarcasm detected loud and clear… but uhh… I kinda think it’s not really that grand a conspiracy to think many people in power are just fucking dragons wanting to sleep on piles of gold motivated purely by greed.
There’s no collaboration or grand plotting needed. Lobbyists just walk up and say “money to not do the thing.”
Plenty of work to do, yes. Within established structures. I have no interest in re-inventing the wheel because someone’s PoliSci course opened their mind to new possibilities.
End Citizens United, end the electoral slaver’s college, impeach crooked justices, and yes severe limits on lobbying. One of the two main parties is capable and interested in those things.
Spoiler alert, it takes a united Congress and more than ten weeks to do that.

Part of the problem is the Republican party is pretty unified around being assholes, and the Democrats have a mix of progressive and asshole.
The assholes in democratic party then team up with republican assholes to prevent progressives

Well, at best - maybe. Again: Electoral College.

…And then they say “ok” and take the money.
