The double-standard of voters

[maxrandb]

I am frustrated and angry at the "double-standard" our.political parties are held to, but the biggest problem is the voters double-standard.

As a Democrat, I am a member of the only voting bloc in America that is expected and required to hold their elected representatives accountable.

I am proud to be a Democrat because of this very point, but it also makes me so effing pissed I can’t see straight. I feel like I am fighting this Retrumplican fascism with one hand tied behind my back.

If any Democratic President had behaved in the way Donnie Dipshit has, the very first people that would run them out of town on a rail would be the Democratic voters that put them in office.

I predicted that the fallout from the Epstein files will be:

"EVERY person on the "left", no matter how innocuous their affiliation, will be forced to resign their position. It won't matter if it's a political, business, or academic position, just the "appearance of impropeiety" will be enough.

On the other hand, those on the "right" will hold their positions, no matter if there is video of them dancing with Epstein and oogling 12 year olds.

Retrumplican voters are simply NEVER required to hold their politicians accountable.

In this divided country, if just 2% of Democratic Voters hold onto a purity test, you end up with Retrumplican single party rule, 6 of 9 Supreme Court Justices appointed by fascists and drunk-ass, bug-eyed snarling corrupt pieces of amphibian shit as the Secretary of (War), FBI Director and AG!

I advocate for straight-the-fuck-down-the-line VOTING FOR DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES!

Yes, I am a "partisan", but I also know this simple fact: If elected Democrats go off the rails, their voters will VOTE THEM OUT...but, if Retrumplicans drive the car down the full fascist, racist, authoritarian road, their voters will buy them the gasoline.

1. When the opponent was/is the party of Trump, "vote blue no matter who"

is the ONLY common sense thing to do.

Even if the "blue" is Fetterman, Casey, or Manchin.

In the primaries, strategically target the DINOs ** IF** there is a reasonable chance of success. But otherwise money is better spent on a potentially winnable R seat.

Getting the gavels of both houses should be Dem's #1 policy position - when the alternative is a catastrophe like we are seeing unfold today. (and to be clear, the current disaster was entirely predictable, at least as far as the intentions of the Evil One ... if not for the so-far implementation success)

Primaries should gate-keep the GE candidates to be at least moderately left of center, if not as progressive as we like - while still electable to the general electorate. This is why I support RCV with open primaries. BUT not open primaries without RCV - that is a recipe for disaster. (and we don't seem to need any recipe ... we do just fine baking our candidates from scratch, sigh...)

2. I think Retrumplican voters are shameless

They aren’t shamed in their churches. I have watched them prostate themselves in the pews as the Sermon on the Mount, or the Good Samaritan parable is preached from the pulpit.

They aren't shamed in their neighborhoods. They vote for this fascist shit, but in an effort to maintain the peace, we invite them to the barbecue.

They aren't shamed by their family and friends, despite bringing shame on their families.

Fascism, rape, pedophilia and murder, are just treated like "bothsiderism and whataboutism".

In the Navy we had a saying; "you get what you inspect, not what you expect".

Retrumplican voters need to inspect themselves, or at least the fucking people they are giving their support and MORAL approval too.

If Donnie Dipshit ran as a Dem, he couldn't and wouldn't have even been elected dogcatcher in some Dumbfuckistan Murika shithole.
