folks are always like “why don’t you say that to republicans???” say what? what are we supposed to say? what is supposed to happen? none of you can ever explain what talking to them will actually do. they’re not going to change course! so is the request just to make you feel better??? - ThreadSky

have they ever tried reasoning with a toddler

That’s why it’s a waste of breath and energy

we ask the democrats to stand up to the republicans and that’s a problem for you but they are literally the only ones who can do anything about them, and they’re making a poor effort!

it’s not the voters’ job to stop the fascists. it’s the job of the people with the power who promised us that they would fight for us. it’s their job. and we’re allowed to critique them! and they should take it!

when it comes to issues especially relating to identity, we are simply not a part of their constituency! i don't make a habit of going to target to get a refund for something i bought at walmart.

i mean im not american but republicans just seem to have a politicised form of oppositional defiant disorder. like its genuinely pointless, and giving them what they want, to talk to them.

This is such a good way to summarise it. Not really thought about it exactly like this before, interesting

100 percent true but also - why would any party listen to people who will never vote for them?.... I ask the democratic party every day

Infighting IS certainly a problem and sometimes people go too hard at a well-meaning person but at the same time... the reason people are harsher on ResistDrumpfPod than GodEmperorElon1469 is that there's at least SOME hope that ResistDrumpfPod CARES and would take the critism to heart?

I certainly support being MEAN to Republicans but telling them "But... you're making Immigrants, LGBT people and women suffer..."
is about as efficient as THEM telling US "So WATER should be a human right? What's next? Food? Shelter??? MEDICINE???"

It's not a gotcha. It's what they want.
