    “Vote for the party that isn’t willing to change the broken system” isn’t the hard sell you think it is.

      Well yeah, because most understand the broken system takes a lot of time to fix and it can’t be done if you have a deadlocked Senate. People who want to fix the system focus on getting us 50+ senators willing to end the filibuster or 60+ in general. People who just want to removed and moan say no one is trying to fix the system.

      And if they don’t vote because I’m not inspiring them to, they are quite literally sitting on their asses removed and moaning.

        The democrats have had outright control of the senate for six of the past twenty years, they had caucus control (for lack of a better term) of the senate since January 2021. If they wanted to end the filibuster, they could have.

        For the record, I’ve voted in every presidentialand midterm election - and most primary and local elections too - since 2003, voting almost straight democratic every single time. So I’ve toed the party line for damn near 20 hears.
