Democratic voters are unreliable. They could probably get everything they wanted if once a year they took an hour or two out of their day to go vote. Instead they’ve let Republicans take over in a large number of counties and we have to deal with all these fucking jackasses in Congress blocking anything from happening. Democrats and youth voters would rather removed and whine about Republicans than actually just vote when it matters.
“Democratic voters” are unreliable because Democrats do not deliver, simple as that. Public healthcare, cannabis legalization, not-funding-a-genocide. Kamala is promising none of these things. Kamala is promising that America will have the most lethal military in the world. Kamala is promising America will support Israel’s “right to defend itself”. Kamala is promising a “secure border”.
Barring Tim Walz and a few policies, Kamala is running a campaign that the republicans of the Bush era would support wholeheartedly. Democrats consistently run campaigns on the premise that they are better than republicans, then quietly shift their policies towards the right. 4 years ago the they ran on not caging children and ruthlessly deporting families, now they’re running on “strong border” rhetoric.
Stop blaming voters for the Democrats inability to run on and enact good policy.
youth voters would rather removed and whine about Republicans than actually just vote when it matters
Back when Bernie ran and lost the nomination it was argument after argument of young voters who removeded and whined and claimed they either weren’t gonna vote or vote 3rd party out of protest.
There are a lot more reasons for why young people don’t vote as much than just them being lazy. For example, young people move a lot more often than old people, so they have to update their voter registration. And if they don’t do that those two hours of their life they have to take off are meaningless.
Also, I highly doubt I’d get everything I wanted even if Democrats ran the entire country from bottom to top, because what I want isn’t terribly popular even among Democrats.
4 years ago the dems ran on not caging children at the border, now Kamala is running on how she’s going to sign a republican border bill and “secure our border”.
Is it really that hard to imagine why some voters might feel apathetic about voting for democrats?
I wouldn’t say it’s even necessarily laziness, probably just general apathy with anything remotely political and using Democrat ineffectiveness as an excuse that “nothing will ever change”. Change is slow and takes committed effort, year after year, seemingly nobody has time for that.
If I hadn’t been in a family with a deep interest in politics I’d avoid it, too. People get really mad about it, and I’ve got enough shit going on that I don’t need to watch a nationwide argument every year on top of it.
But thanks to my parents I get to deal with all the political shit and all the normal shit.

democrats are useless af when they have a majority.
get a preferential voting system so ppl can actually vote for who they want without shooting themselves in the foot.
Democratic voters would be winning if it wasn’t for gerrymandering. The fact is, they are playing against a loaded deck.
America would be winning if we didn’t have the south desperately trying to drag us back to the century when they were last proud.

Only if they’re paying attention. A lot of people just… aren’t.
People are fucking stupid.
They think just because one side uses words that are prettier to them they arent driving the train to the same fuckinh station.
Vote democrate - its the only way is a LIE they tell themselves to avoid having to actually take responsibility.
The only way to get shit to change is to say
NO. I won’t allow this corrupt 2 party system to continue any longer.
