> We’re supposed to take seriously these people saying that democracy is at risk if we don’t vote, but they’re so apathetic about who wins that they’ll help any Democrat become president who pays them? Mind-boggling. “Blue no matter who,” truly.)
Wonderfully put, I think this is something that’s true for both political sides, we’re moving closer and closer to a reality where both sides just want their color to win, and are completely closed off to any change.
- seanmcdirmid 2y agoI split my ballot in a blue state (WA). Voted Harris for president, but mostly R for the other state and local elections. As a result, none of my picks actually won in the last election. I think there are a lot of voters like me: we only dislike Trump because he is crazy and could lead the economy/world into disaster, we aren't really liberals or progressives per say, we just don't want to be poor. The sad part is that with Trump being president, far right and left wingers are going to be even more embolden in local and state elections (like in 2016-2020): anyone with moderate opinions is simply going to be called a Trumper (if in a blue area) or a communist (if in a red area) and is going to get trounced solidly. Elections are simply going to be really polarized for the next 4 years, and moderates on both sides are going to lose out.
