Why can Democrats only offer candy bars for dinner when we need fresh fruits, vegetables, and actual healthy foods?

Corporate interests in politics. You and me donating to our favored candidates is nothing compared to the big money and lobbyists mega corporations are throwing around.

Democrats can’t offer fresh fruit because the chocolate lobby is funding the chocolafe democrat in the fruit democrats district.

The Democrats either don’t know the right way to govern, or they know but they don’t care. Do either of those options sound like a party that anyone should vote for?

It’s not any one party’s fault. It’s a systemic issue. People who don’t actually represent voters are being given disproportionately amount of money to run campaigns because they represent businesses.

That being said I don’t know if we should be looking at party as a whole but also who the candidates are.

If we pushed more progressive candidates like AOC who do call out Israel and show up to primaries we can steer the party to a more reasonable direction while realizing the 2 party system is broken and needs fixing.

I dont see how disengaging entirely from electoralism helps.

I did not vote Democrat in 2024 because the Democrats are not entitled to my vote by pretending to be less awful than the other team. I did not vote Democrat anywhere on the ticket because I refuse to be complicit in genocide. That is the hard moral line I am taking. There is no excuse for genocide.

You got to keep your “moral line” but if it was at the cost of worse material conditions in Gaza and means Gazans got more bombs and their aid and rights watch groups defunded then I’m not sure I agree that was worth it.

Your suggestion that the material conditions of Gaza under Kamala would have been equally bad doesn’t feel very convincing.

And that’s not even mentioning the genocide in Ukraine. Biden was at least on the right side of that, Trump is certainly not.

We “caused it”? We “allowed Trump to win”?

I only brought that up because it seemed at that time you were trying to accuse me of not doing enough by asking how many protests I go to.

I’m saying that if you chose not to vote against fascism, it’s unfair to blame the people who did for not protesting now that it’s way more dangerous and they might be abducted, tortured and deported for doing so.

Had Kamala won there would be much less fear of protesting against her government.

You guys didn’t cause it per se, but you still can’t seem to agree that a fascist is worse than a neoliberal and I just don’t get what’s not obvious about that.

Show me 3 examples

No

There ya go. Then I will continue to insist that the abduction and systematic targeting of students and academics on grounds of “wokeness” wasn’t happening under Biden.
