    They you people should have done your damn job and held him accountable instead of going to brunch and ignoring what’s going on.

      Oh please you’re sitting here whining from the sidelines like everyone else.

      We have 4 options: vote Trump, vote Biden, vote third-party/independent, don’t vote. What do you want us to do come November?

        They want you to ensure Trump gets elected, of course. For some reason, that seems to be the sole goal of their very ‘original’ form of leftism.

            Why bother with that when the goal is wanting to look superior and briefly being able to tell people “told you so”. That’s before everyone is off to the camps/ovens, I guess.

              Make your protest vote, or protest skip, or whatever. You’ll feel superior and no one else will notice.

                I’m not the one with the protest vote. It’s you guys that are voting against something. A vote cast against something is a vote of protest

                And I suppose your solution is keep electing the same people that got us into the problems that we have? Liberals love to try to silence dissent, infantilize anyone that disagrees with them, there’s a reason there’s a saying that starts off ‘scratch a liberal’

                  It’s interesting how you only respond to people when you can reasonably respond rhetorically/flippantly. You ignore anyone who wants a direct answer.

                    The only way to respond to people that continue to do the same thing over and over and over expecting different results need to be answered flippantly. Experience from long long ago tells me they’re not looking for solutions, they are looking for confirmation bias

                    The way to deal with people like this is keep asking them what they propose we do then watch them flail helplessly because they only know how to show up and complain right before the general then promptly disappear for 3.5 years until the next one.

                    People like them don’t put in the work. They sit on the sidelines then get mad when everybody can’t divine the perfect solution for them. They get mad when you point out to them that it is defeatist and encourages people not to participate. There’s no way to get through to them, so I just press for answers so that onlookers can see what is happening and hopefully not give in to that petty, defeatist outlook.
