    Genuinely what does “holding accountable” mean to a politician if not withholding your vote?

        My votes align with my politics in all elections. The democrats seem to accept that their police state, genocidal project, and oil barons are more important than my vote, why can’t you?

      Primary them.

      Withholding your vote in the general election is a great way to elect Republicans. How’s that been going? Oh I know! I’ll ask Alex Pretti and Renee Good if they think it’s working.

        Should we got tit for tat on victims of political violence and what presidency they died under, or does only count as a police state if it effects good proper whites?

        Because I remember considering ICEs agency gestapo with concentration camps during Trump 1 and all the democrats did was give them more money.
