    Liberals before they vote: I need to vote, any action to save democracy must be taken

    Liberals after they vote: Welp time to do nothing for the next four years, also if you disagree with the Democrat president you’re a threat to democracy and you hate freedom :3

      And four years later they’ll vote for a democrat whose positions are eerily similar to those of the republicans today, because it’s the least bad option. Race to the bottom. Four years ago, republican anti-immigrant nonsense was ridiculed, and we laughed at the border wall shit. Now Harris is all for stronger borders, and Biden actually resumed building the wall. Four years ago we ridiculed Trump for “drill baby drill”, today Harris is pro fracking, as she explained in her recent town hall with undecided voters. The vote blue no matter who crowd is flushing their democracy down the toilet.

        “Give away your vote for nothing or you’re a genocidal bigot” is “Pokemon Go to the polls” but for terminally online armchair activists and election tourists.

      Yeah where is this energy during the actual cycles of governance? Campaigning on important issues, grassroots activism and canvassing, volunteering with the various lobby groups… Nope the only thing that matters is that you Vote Blue.
