    At this point the only way ill believe dems during an election is they have the bills ready to go and presigned by Congress

    And this is why they’re not courting people like you. You’ve voluntarily removed yourself from the pool of potential voters.

    Yeah, those things you listed would be great and if there were enough progressive folks voting instead of sitting on the sidelines they would be on the table once the Overton window got dragged back to the left a bit.

    But instead we have “they’re eating dogs and cats”, “schools are forcibly chopping off kids’ dicks”, “kitty litter in classrooms”, and Project 2025 up against basic fucking sanity. So unless you’re an accelerationist there’s only one sensible choice.

    Or you can sit around sniffing your own farts and feeling morally superior while everyone left of Mussolini is getting loaded onto the trains.

      I dint particularly care if they court me. Harris can have all the policies in the world she cant enact 99% of them without democrats in the legislature ao they’re worth less than the paper they’re written on without yhose commitments. Its not like they have a job other than writing this legislation. Should have these bills ready to go with their signatures on them. Now that would convince me she can deliver.

      Now if harris committed to arms embargo by upholding leahy w/ israel, or keeping ms khan, or promising to support striking workers with aid, id be all over her. Because she can do that.

      You see the difference between me and you is i hold politicians accountable for what they can do…not what i want to hear.
