Borough Democrats supported him from the jump.

Rag on the corpos all you want but understand local Dems are a thing and somewhere they’re the same thing.

It doesn't matter!

Both sides are the same!

We have to sit out every election until the workers rise up and bring about the Revolution!

So what if people die without health care? That's a small price to pay!

Agreed, if you can live with a genocide in someone else's country and have to vote for the lesser evil, I can live with your country turning fascist, losing influence and being discarded by your own vassal states.

Anything for greater good with choosing lesser evil, right?

The breaking down of US hegemony is far beneficial to everyone overall than you losing healthcare.

Bet, now you suddenly think that's non-empathetic, huh bud?

Let me raise you from your ignorance.

You may have heard of a man named Frederick Douglas. He had been a slave, escaped to freedom, and worked tirelessly in the cause of abolition.

In the 1860 election Douglas had to choose which candidate he would support. Abe Lincoln had said that keeping the Union together was his top priority and that he'd let the South keep their slaves if it meant they'd stay. Another candidate was strongly for abolition.

Douglas, who knew exactly how terrible the lives of the slaves were, decided that the smart thing to do was to support Lincoln.

Douglas wanted abolition, but knew that Lincoln's abolitionist opponent was almost certain to lose the election.

Douglas made a strategic decision to support Lincoln in hopes that he'd be able to influence Lincoln later on.

Also, I think it's hilarious that you think that American democracy breaking down is going to be a good thing.

Putin's version of Russia is as bad the old USSR in terms of messing with other countries.

The US arsenal isn't going to disappear overnight, and will more likely be deployed when we lose soft power.

The literal title of this post: vote for people who want to help

, not those who want to line their pockets


In this case it's saying not to vote for Schumer or Gillibrand in the generals, if they survive a primary.

I don’t give a fuck if either of them get elected again, and anyone who thinks NY is sending a Republican to the senate is dumb as hell.
