When we say liberals are do nothings and blame you guys in part for the things your country does, this is what we are talking about. The right wing citizenry in your country actively does shit to push their political agenda constantly. Meanwhile you guys just argue about the validity of “vote blue no matter who” on the internet and stick up for democratic politicians who are themselves, at best, doing absolutely fuck all.
You're exactly right. I still say vote blue no matter who when a republican is the alternative (it is a war after all), but I do think we can do better at picking our candidates in the primaries.
I am absolutely not talking about just “picking better candidates in the primaries.” How did you so comically miss my point entirely?
Lol how did you miss your own point so comically?
You: liberals don’t get anything done they just squabble and their candidates don’t do shit
Them: you’re right we need to get our shit together and pick better candidates who will stop squabbling and get shit done.
You: nO nOt lIkE tHaT!!
Because you have to do shit besides just trying to pick better candidates with votes. Just waiting to vote is the issue.
