you are voting for putting people in prison for marijuana.

Harris has made Cannabis legalization a campaign promise.

You are voting for a party that will pretend to care only to watch key legislation die because 2 senators said “no”, despite being from the party that claimed to want the change.

You are literally complaining about democracy here. If you want more "yes" votes, elect more Democrats.

You vote for 2 more years of a locked government. There is no solution to the problems the 2 parties have created by voting for either of them. Nothing ever gets permanently better under either Democrat or Republican. They are the problem.

Democrats bring progress, and Republicans bring regression. I don't see how not voting is a solution to this problem. If you want progress, vote for the people who bring it.

Don’t use Geordi to support your ruling class. Geordi comes from a world that got rid of boomer parties and they run the freaking galaxy.

Star Trek isn't real.

The last 20 years prove otherwise. Not only could they not pass Bidens' BBB agenda with both houses in 2021, but they couldn't pass universal healthcare or codify Roe with a super-majority in 2009. The only major legislative achievement of the Democrats since the 90s was passing a Republican-designed healthcare plan. That's not democracy, it's disfunction.

Democrats bring progress, and Republicans bring regression.

LMAO, no. The social safety net is a fraction of the size it was 40 years ago, wealth inequality is at record highs, and housing is unaffordable for half of Americans. That's not just from Democrats failure to bring change either; Bill Clinton did as much to gut welfare and deregulate Wallstreet as any Republican. At their best, the Democrats slow the rate of regression, and even that is far from a given.
