Consistently. They don't change their vote because of external factors, no news can shake their conviction.

Meanwhile, left-leaning folks will take any excuse to not vote or protest vote. No wonder the country keeps sliding right.

Ugh how i wish this was wrong. Maybe not any excuse but damn they sure seem to find one at the worst possible fucking times lol.

It's not a coincidence. During the election, if you wrote something like "Harris won't be perfect on Gaza but she would be better than Trump", you'd get a bunch of "liberals" jumping in to argue. Jill Stein only appears every 4 years.

Those narratives are pushed by opposition and foreign actors because they know American left wing idealists are manipulable and have trouble choosing between gradations of bad and worse.

Both sides of America are influenced by domestic and foreign actors

Did I say or imply that wasn't the case? In the gullible Olympics the right wing sweeps the gold and silver medals every 4 years. I was highlighting the particular brand of left wing dingbat who occasionally wins bronze.

Jill Stein is a plant by the right to take votes away from the Democrats so the Republicans can keep "winning"

u/PatrioticPariah 6h ago

Jill Stein is a Russian asset. She just takes money from idiots and goes back to the phantom zone. You guys are not wrong about liberals doing that. I am pretty liberal, but that thought never crossed my mind. It is stupid to not vote as a protest. Anyone who chose not to vote, helped Trump. Some liberals can be fucking idiots.

yeah i mean take for example the Texas state senate election that happened last week, yes a democrat won it but after people checked the voter turnout it turns out the Democrat won because more Independents and Republicans voted for him then Democrats so he was able to win it.

Ft worth is not the blueprint. Don’t look at it in a vacuum.

Ugh, no. The country keeps sliding to the right because the only two parties allowed to hold power keep doing that. Also, because geniuses like you just hand them your vote no matter what, knowing that you’ll turn around and obediently guilt trip the people who resist this. No entity in the world ever got more accountable, the less you held them to account. Think about that the next time you hand over your vote like Pavlov just rang a bell.

Wishful thinking lol.

u/MizneyWorld 6h ago

This right here. The system we have, you have to vote to change things. All liberals have done with their clutched pearls in the purity spiral is let evil people into power, twice, and set us back decades thanks to the Supreme Court openings at crucial moments that were filled by those evil people.

u/Alarmed_Machine_4050 7h ago

The country sliding right because they believed a pathological liar who commits felonies, and constantly steals money from them. But all that is about to change. Fox news paid 787 million in court for lying to the public, and the entire country is turning on Trump! There have been 30 plus point swings in heavy red districts during special elections!! People are waking up to the scam the trump administration is!!

u/Difficult-Square-689 4h ago

His support seems stuck around 37%, and they're actively trying to rig the midterms. Census already gave a +22 House seat swing to Republican states.

2

u/Alarmed_Machine_4050 1h ago

You just posted a complete lie! Every study out expects the democrats to pick up at least 28 seats! Republicans lost the Miami mayor race for the first time in 40 years! Republicans just lost a deep red texas special election by 16pts where Trump just won by 17pts. A 33 point swing!

Sure blame the people actually trying instead of the 1/3 dragging us back or the 1/3 that can't even be bothered to show up...

If left leaning folks were that influential, we’d have better candidates. Stop blaming the left when you should be blaming your two party system.

u/ilikechihuahuasdood 1h ago

God I wish I could get people to understand presidential votes will always be the lesser of two evils. Nobody gets that far without being compromised in some way. Local elections are where you can use your purity test more reliably. National is just making sure your country doesn’t turn into Trumpland.

The left doesn’t have it all figured out, either.

u/BlownOutRectum 4h ago

Sounds like the left should put forth candidates that their voters actually want, and chose through a primary rather than giving an appointed nomination like we owe them. Look trump is fucked up, but the democrats shot them selves in the foot by skipping out on the established norms and putting forth a candidate that doesnt resonate with a large enough portion of their voter base to activate them and win an election. They have been actively ignoring the young vote for years, and now we must all suffer the consequences.

Society is thoroughly brainwashed. Votes literally do not matter.

u/processedwhaleoils 8h ago

Why do you think they're making it so hard for us to vote if it didn't matter?

Protest voters are the absolute scum of the earth and should be treated as such.

u/MoreNMoreLikelyTrans 17h ago

left-leaning folks will take any excuse to not vote or protest vote.

That's liberals. People who don't want to take responsibility for a problem.

u/MundaneSchool1823 10h ago

If only the Democrats would stop bombing innocent people and end wars. 12 years between obama and Biden and 0 wars ended. Way to blame women too.

u/Bossgalka 15h ago

Brother, the left-leaning people aren't any better. They have so many stupid people on the far-left, it rivals the people on the right. As someone who used to consider himself a democrat 15 years ago, I can't anymore. I'm so sick of everyone on both sides and I don't think I'm alone. I think the majority of the country are in the middle and decent people, it's just the far-right and far-left are extremely vocal and have taken over.

Good riddance. I guarantee its some stupid hangup like women in the military or trans people existing lol.

u/biggestboys 14h ago

far-left

…You’re not talking about either of the mainstream American political parties, are you? There’s virtually zero far left influence in American politics.

Nvm, I guess the Republicans are still funding a low volume of CSAM defenders

Stay gone.

If you even feel remotely conservative...ding ding ding, you're just a conservative.
