    Refusing to hold Democrats accountable is also voting for Fascism.

    As mentioned oh, so, so, so many times, voting for the least worst option doesn’t preclude holding them to account. That part comes after, once democracy is assured.

    Except, people voted for cruelty and fascism to really stick it to the Dems. Now there’s worse fascism and no democracy.

    Good job.

    Feel proud.

      How are you going to hold them to account after? Theres zero correlation between what the public wants and what the government does. The only moment you have any importance at all is for that one brief instant you vote. Thats all you get in our fake democracy. So I think you’re being dishonest.

        Holding those in power accountable is a continuous process. It doesn’t just happen on a specific day or another. Politically active and concious people protest and raise awareness in an ongoing manner regardless of who is in power. The world didn’t end on 5 Nov 2024 or 20 Jan 2025 - fighting for democracy will never stop.

        You would know this if you actually put your money where your mouth is, as it were.

        And how, precisely, did “holding the Dems accountable” work out after 2016? Did they “learn their lesson”?

          They very much did actually. Biden shamelessly just cribbed much of Elizabeth Warren’s economic policies. Hillary’s loss in 2016 forced him to run on a much more progressive platform in 2020 than he ever would have otherwise.
