    I swear every time the next election is near all these anti-democrats show up to convince people not to vote. Pathetic.

      When is an election not near?

      YOU are in the minority. Independents outnumber YOU. And we vote! Do you?

      Many millions of your own party don’t bother to vote. Bitch at them, clean your own filthy, nasty house; and maybe, just maybe, try being civil to those people you REQUIRE to win any election.

        Tell me about cleaning my house when you probably live in a fascist nation yawn

        I am not a Democratic Party Member, I have been an independent for almost thirty years now. Probably longer than you have been alive, but please do tell me what is up.

      Really? Because I’ve been seeing a pretty steady stream of complaints and general badmouthing of Democrats for many years now.

        I have no problem with that, the Democratic party is dysfunctional and deserves criticism.

        I do have a problem with people who never have anything bad to say about Republicans showing up around election time to talk shit only about the Democratic party. It was a huge issue in the last several elections I have participated in.

        In my opinion a lot of them are disingenuous political operatives.

      Where did I say not to vote? Also DNC /= Democrat Party

      The fact that Democrat incumbents get a free pass while GOP incumbents get primaried for not being MAGA enough is literally why Trump is president. Americans need to primary the DNC and turn over at least 75% of sitting politicians by end of 2028.

      USA is a system of checks and balances… the primary balance to unchecked power is the American voter -burning down toilet paper warehouses apparently.

        If you want to deny what your up to that is fine with me. Perhaps you just haven’t reflected on your message.

        The pattern I notice is people showing up to talk shit about Democratic Party (yes, they do suck) around election time, but strangely never have anything to say about the Republican party.

          Are you just bad at reading? I’m telling people to vote MORE by participating in primary elections.

            Please reread my original comment to see where I stand.

            It is clear you have a boner for the only political party that even slightly supports progressive policies. Perhaps you should reflect on that.

                    I did, that is why I think you are a disingenuous political operative or just misinformed. You aren’t even a US citizen by your own admission. So strange.
