      As soon as there’s a candidate that actually represents them… Imagine if the 2 candidates were Trump and Romney, both running as Republicans… Would libs be crying that everyone needs to vote Republican or the Republicans will win? Replace Republican with conservative in that last sentence, and maybe it will clear up why progressives don’t bother voting… There is no one to vote for

      (I’m voting for Kamala, so should everyone)

        Don’t be mad at me that he either sucks or progressives can’t be assed to go vote.

        Im just pointing out your suggestion is laughable because he can’t even win his primary as an incumbent.

          Yes because Israel lobby spent the most money in history for any primary seat of congress. One district rep for congress is a little different than the whole country, but yes, money needs to be taken out of politics.

          In other news the capital of Israel is about to get bombed by Iran, which is too bad I guess

              I agree with you, money in politics has no influence over our politicians. If someone gave me 100 million dollars I wouldn’t feel obligated to give them taxpayer money or weapons. Lobbyists are just good people trying to make an honest living.

              I totally agree with you
