I do not have a kind view of anyone who brags about not voting. And anyone trying to convince you not to vote has motives you should definitely question.
… But watching the Democrats just roll over on every damned thing is really making it feel like a pointless ritual. Democracy Theater.
- Continued and renewed efforts at voter suppression
- Packing the supreme court
- The timid handling of Jan. 6th insurrectionists. (Including a supreme court justice and former president!)
- Now, their reaction to Roe v. Wade is
- "Still not time to end the filibuster"
- "Need more police protection for these poor SCOTUS judges!"
- "Let's talk about something else."
They're guaranteed the vote of anyone like me who is against what Republicans are doing, so won't throw away their vote on a further-left party. But as a result they keep moving right to try to pick up more "middle" voters.
Feeling a bit frustrated and hopeless about the future for the U.S.
Just to be clear, though: I'll still be voting.
