It's why I can't take liberals seriously, btw
"That will take many decades to change, so we have to sit tight and accept these rotten scraps in the meanwhile. Why are you so radical!? Just accept it for now and vote super hard for Democrats! That'll work eventually. I'm sure of it!"
- every liberal, ignoring that over 10 years neofascists completely changed everything about the country culturally, socially, and economically

@johnzajac It’s been step by step since Reagan/Thatcher at least. Sure voting is necessary, but it’s not sufficient, by a long ways. But I get into trouble when I say that.

@johnzajac "It doesn't really matter who becomes President. They can't really change that much, anyway." I used to hear that shit all the time, usually about positive things like healthcare.

@johnzajac what happens when the people you spent decades supporting financially and voting for act exclusively against your best interests? "Pick new democrats and repeat"
