    not I. One does not support the middle class enough but still does stuff like regulation and tries to improve healthcare, the environment, and other aspects of the country and the other tears it apart. One side is freindly with billionaires and the other is their whore.

      Look I ain’t voting for the Republicans either but I ain’t gonna pretend the DNC is on my side. That said, my vote is absolutely irrelevant. I live in a blue bastion state and our backwards election systems guarantee my vote is worthless. The whole game is set up to fuck over the working class and promote the interests of the wealthy.

      Sure but to his point you and everyone else on here are in the minority. About 1/3rd vote Democrat consistently, and about 1/3rd vote Republican consistently. The remaining 3rd are the ones that flip flop between elections and unfortunately they’re the ones that actually determine the outcome (although in reality it’s more like 1/4th in each category with a final 4th that just doesn’t vote). Lastly for the pedants these are all very rough approximations of the numbers involved, for instance the real percentage that doesn’t vote is actually closer to 40%.
