    Purity tests will be the end of Democracy.

    While citizens skip voting, vote third party, and prop up weak candidates the authoritarian in chief will spend his final days on a throne Robert Baratheon style. Hopefully he’s gored by a pig sooner rather than later.

      I mean, as long as he doesn’t openly support genocide or rape kids, he is better then the last two candidates. The purity test bar is pretty low imo, it’s kind of really easy to pass (easier for one party though).

        This kind of idiocy is why we have a literal genocide enabling rapist and (probable) pedophile in the whitehouse riding roughshod over the constitution while Congress and the Supreme Court packed full of his shitbird lackeys cheer him on from the sidelines.

          “Is it the party that chose to run a platform on apathy and genocide that are to blame for losing the election? No, it is everyone else”

          Sorry for expecting them to represent me and not a foreign state bro, lmao. We wouldn’t have Trump if they at least pretended to care about us. They fucked us over for daddy Israel, I’m not going to shut up about it.

          I voted for Kamala btw, I felt gross about it. I’m really hoping we can encourage them to give us candidates that dont say things that make me sick to my stomach. Instead we tell the dems they aren’t to blame and it’s the voters fault. What a joke, you are part of the problem if you actively defend them and their behavior last election.

            “Is it the party that chose to run a platform on apathy and genocide that are to blame for losing the election?"

            Who would you have rather voted for?
