All of these feel like just basic human rights and empathy, I've never figures out why or how anyone could be against this.

Obligatory “I said ONE reason!”

The video arguably conflates what "Democrat" politicians say their agenda is on paper with their actual track record after they get elected. Wars, assassinations, torture, military coups, mass surveillance expansion, subservience to banks, big corporations in general, and of course Israel. The receipts are there for those who'll bother looking. Make a new party. In any case, the empire is crumbling and the Global South is cautiously optimistic. What happens internally is your business. Good luck

As someone brought up Republican and conservative, I didn’t see the light until trump. Besides the fact of being a racist pedo, he is also irresponsible, unprofessional and didn’t do anything beneficial during his first term. That and maga storming the capital out the nail in the coffin

You cannot use facts and observations with faith based people. Republicans wouldn't be Republican if they accepted facts and observations.

You can boil quite a few of those down to I respect the Constitution and would rather vote for someone who protects it instead of wiping their anus with it.

The Democrats need to become pro-gun if they want to claim the mantle of constitutionalism. You can't have it both ways. If you aren't in favor of an armed populace after recent events you're not paying attention.

Here's the thing though - the Democrats won't do any of that. They had plenty of oppertunities to do so, going back to the 90s, if they wanted to. But what Trump wants to do is horrific. If someone says to me: The only reason you vote Democratic is because you hate Trump, I'm likely to respond: "You're right. It's not that I love the Democrats, it's that I'm voting against the guy who ran on being a dictator. Isn't that enough?"

You do know that it's not always as simple as "We want to do that. We did it". When you have an opposing party fighting you every step of the way and sometimes you have no control and they push it in the opposite direction, you've then gone backwards. That said, there are some shitty Dems.

Right, but when the Democrats are IN the opposition party, somehow the Democrats cave, *every time.*

1 month ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Exactly. Dems are conservatives. Just not as far right as the other party. We had four years of the previous administration where nothing got done, at all, to prevent where we are now which was plain as day what we knew would happen if nothing was done.

Idk why you're getting downvoted, you're right. Establishment dems suck, but at least they aren't nazis. Both things can be true at once.

Probably because republicans haves undone decades of actual work by democrats very quickly. And this person says democrats haven't done anything since the 90s. Like what about all the stuff before that? What about the ACA? Does that not count just because republicans are fascist assholes now? I agree with the overall sentiment but nows not the time for bs purity tests. The enemies are at the fucking gates.

1 month ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Gonna be truthful with you: ACA was a giveaway to the health insurance companies, and was basically Romney's plan.

And sure, I guess if you want to go back to the *CARTER* administration, they did good things.

I'm not saying we shouldn't vote democrat because of purity tests, I'm saying that the Democrats won't improve our lives if elected, only that they'll not actively screw us over quite as fast. (Honestly, though, I think they're just a token opposition at this point and part of the GOP)

i mean yeah? being opposed to a candidate is like a really good reason not to vote for them. there no test before voting to prove you actually like the person you vote for. you can vote for candidate b because candidate a has stupid hair or because they like pineapple on pizza. that's what it means to have free elections

They didn't ask why they should vote for democrats, but why you did.

And we should not hide from policy issues, that's a big reason democrats lose, failure to have a fucking spine and say what they believe in, not some focus grouped bullshit that boils down to "y'know, whatever's popular, I guess. Unless you think I should believe in something else!"

It's really fucking sad to me that environmental protection isn't at the forefront of any major novelty. A stable earth is literally a precondition for human existence. I'm Dem all day. How can you NOT think of that.

2 months ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

No one is actually "for" or "against" environmentalism in politics except the Green Party. The Democrats pretend to be for it but act against it whenever their corporate donors tell them to, and the Republicans just do the same thing without pretending to care in the first place. If half this video's talking points matter to you more than hating Trump, you should be voting Green, because the DNC has shown it doesn't actualy give a shit.

2 months ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

They sure as fuck don't. A lot of green party candidates are snakes in the grass as well. Some people say that a vote for an independent or the green party is a vote for Repubs. What say you to that?

That's the kind of attitude that preserves the two party system. European-style multiparty democracy is merely a dream deferred, but the DNC and GOP collude to make you think it's impossible.
