You would eventually "drive off a cliff" with either party, as they will softlock you into never having better choices, and the overton window will keep moving to the right. The only possibility out is to vote third party.
The United States political system is setup in such a way that third parties are an immidate non starter, a garenteed loss.
The only way out is to manipulate a party into changing its ideology like how the Christian Nationalists have been doing since the 80s.
Meanwhile, the people who want ice cream:
Reminds me of this really annoying "I don't do politics" advert that was airing on British TV two decades ago. Like, I'm surprised the ad didn't end with a punch to the face.
The people who want to get ice cream are also helping a psychopath murder innocent civilians so it's a bit of a toss up
Oh, good thing the people who want to go over the cliff aren't helping a psychopath murder innocent civilians.
... they actually want to increase the assistance to that psychopath so they can murder more innocent civilians?
Huh.
Which side do you think is more realistic to change later on? The people who want ice cream, at the very least, want to live.
The politicians that are on the "ice cream" side only talk about "ice cream" when it helps them win elections, they spend every other moment arming psychopaths at the behest of their wealthy ~~donors~~ owners
I love how everyone in this thread agreed to move forward and support the Dems
