Liberals literally believe that every American (and European) election is the most important election of their lives because the fascist Maga voters are about to seize power and recreate the handmaiden's Tale and send gay people to concentration camps so you have to vote Blue no matter who.....

...while simultaneously believing that liberal capitalist democracy is the best system and is superior to that of China, Russia, and Cuba and has to spread by force throughout the planet.

The thing that pisses me off is they just ignore that like... abortion rights got fucked under dems. Trans rights got fucked under dems.

"oh, but it's not federal!"

Oh cool, I'm sure that sentiment is going to save the trans people in Florida.

But then libs blue screen because they can't think of any alternative. To them you HAVE to vote red or blue. It doesn't even occur to them that their democracy might be a sham. They are so whipped and subservient to their capitalist masters that the idea of rising up is alien to them.
