Same here, didn't vote for Trump, held my fucking nose and conformed and voted Hillary in 2016 because I was still a socdem back then and I was scared. Then 2020 rolls around, centrist democrats backstab Bernie and simultaneously rally behind Joe Biden's lukewarm corpse to stop a progressive from gaining any more momentum. Now they sit on their hands every step of the way, no effort to remove the filibuster, Biden and congress come together to stop the railroad strike, no effort to pack the court, nothing.

I've voted in every fucking election (local, state, national, midterms, etc.) since 2008 when I turned 18. It doesn't fucking make any difference. Candidates are chosen and corporations always win. The system is working as intended for those who it was built for. Hint: It is not me or you.

I keep seeing these annoying libs lash out towards leftists for the mistakes of the Democrat party. Democrats back some of the most unlikable candidates, backstab their own, don't exercise their power when they do have it, are condescending, overly worried about optics and decorum, and do almost nothing to combat the broken hydrant of lies and vitriol coming from Republicans.

Almost 100 million eligible Americans didn't vote in 2016. And yes we know the electoral college, gerrymandering, voter id laws, material conditions, etc, impact that number. Yet libs don't seem to have the mental capacity to ever look inward and analyze the conditions that resulted in these outcomes. They are so fucking dense.
