    It’s especially infuriating because the Dems don’t have to do anything to earn votes. All they have to do is be slightly less crazy and anyone who doesn’t want outright facism has no choice but to vote for them, whether they accomplish anything or not.

    ETA: ok, “slightly” in this context is doing a lot of heavy lifting lol, Dems are a lot less crazy!

      And what’s worse, they know it. What’s even worse than that is they only have to lose once and are still playing the “well, the other guy is worse you have to vote for us” game. It’s unconscionably dangerous.
