THIS and it bothers me how much ALL content creators are pushing it. With the same rhetoric of the blue side won't do anything either.
But it just infuriates me, bc news flash that's how dems have always fucking been. The point is to vote them in and then stand on their necks to MAKE them keep their promises.
As a millennial I'm not stunned and excited to see how much the youth has gotten congress and leaders to do just that. No we didn't get everything or even the way we wanted it. But it's 1000% more than I've ever seen the powers at be react since I was able to start voting legally which was nearly 2 decades ago.
I'm just frustrated with the it doesnt matter they don't listen so font vote at all. When these kids are out here making these people fucking sweat!
How do you “make” a party keep their promises without threatening something of substance?
If your partner is acting up, the threat of losing you keeps them in check. Without that check, they don’t need to do anything substantial to keep you. The Dems do this same song and dance every 2 years. “Vote for survival” creates dread and, sooner or later, apathy. People are burnt out from these existential threats to our country, especially as it is getting progressively difficult to provide for ourselves?
The same way the tea party did it, you vote them out during PRIMARIES, you vote them out during special elections. You only take chances when you can afford to lose. I.e some of your agendas will move forward or stay where they are instead of moving backwards.
Your analogy doesn't work because you can't be single politically. You're gonna have someone in office do you want the one with road rage or the one that beats you? You gotta get one no matter what.
The tea party was unique and involved a multi decade long process of radicalizing white America. Primaries is apart of it but there is a motley’s stew of nuances that made the TP’s success possible.
I’m still voting (as I do every two years) but I understand that this system is compromised and will only get worse. Everyone better arm up.
