BlueMAGA, now as into conspiracy theories as their red bretheren, and for the same reasons.

I'm sorry you're worried that the Democrats strategy of doing nothing might not pay off, and that endorsing genocide still is such a loser issue. But that doesn't mean the people refusing to share your party loyalty over any common sense are part of a conspiracy, foreign or domestic.

Let me say as a person who used to care about elections for self interest and humanitarian reasons but at this point kind of no longer gives much of a shit about elections other than being fueled by self interest and a new sense of deep and bitter spite:

Voting for a party doesn't equal party loyalty. Pointing out that one party is significantly worse than the one you think people should vote for isn't party loyalty either. You can hate both parties and still vote for one and have good reasons to do so and encourage others to do the same with good reasons to do so.

Either you are an imbecile and don't know what words mean and shouldn't be posting and embarrassing yourself or you are a scumbag liar pretending to not know what words mean. In either case everyone should ignore you.

To what end?

Let's frame it this way,

A Mafia is in town (the ultra wealthy that can avoid laws and punishment)

You can either vote for the mafioso that gives out SOME gifts to the community WHILE STILL CONSOLIDATING POWER AND TRANSFERRING WEALTH, or, they can send their enforcers out to make sure that they can FORCIBLY CONSOLIDATE POWER AND TRANSFER WEALTH.

Hakeem Jeffries is secretly meeting with Kushner. That is the mark of a treasonous pedophile supporter and the unmasking of the controlled opposition party.

Voting democrat will only continue the charade

In the end we're all dead. Right now I'd like to live in a world not run by fascists. Simple as that. People lives, including my own and yours, would be better if fascists were not in power.

Additionally, Hakeem Jefferies is not the only democrat. There are many democrats and some are worse or better. While essentially every republican is a monster or at best an unhinged lunatic.

Jefferies also is, even as a empty husk of a politician, better than an ideological fascist. Because if socialists were in power, Hakeem Jefferies would be incentivized to work with them to maintain power, while in the current instance, he is incentivized to work with fascists.

Jefferies is not an ideologue. He's a power loyalist.
