    So yeah, I’ll keep talking shit about the Dems because they’re supposed to represent my views, since we live in a Representative Democracy.

    Not really, they’re supposed to represent the views they said they’d represent. If you disagree you should have voted for one of the other options. The real issue is that this “democracy” only gives you two valid options: right and far right.

      You cannot know what every single issue will be in the future.

      Sure, vote for people who have the same values, but even then people can flip flop or cave to pressure.

      What I’m advocating for is pressure from the citizenry to have these politicians do what we want OUTSIDE OF ELECTIONS because their duty to represent people doesn’t start and stop in an election season.

      Fuck that noise

        You don’t vote because you can’t predict the future?

        That is the stupidest shit I’ve ever heard.

        OUTSIDE OF ELECTIONS

        You don’t pay attention to what they do outside of elections. The number of times I’ve seen phoney fucking progressives criticize the Democrats only to be immediately proven wrong because they did no research. Lazy self-centered fucks exist on memes and assumptions.

          You don’t vote

          Nice fucking strawman idiot.

          Let me know when you’re ready to discuss like adults without misrepresenting other’s beliefs.
