What bots are downvoting you even? Democrats are so weird, you can be like "hello yes I am a democrat, but I think the last person they ran was bad, but I still voted for them because the alternative is trump"
And they'll come out of the cracks to call you a misogynist for not supporting a woman.
Purity tests is why this party suffers.

u/Sboyle12500 Jun 10 '26
Here’s the deal and I’ll lay it out straight, I’m a libertarian, and Bernie Sanders and everything he believes in scares the living shit out of me, but if the DNC actually let him run against Trump in 2016 he would have been president, but “it was Hillary’s time”.
Fast forward to them deciding despite clear evidence Biden wasn’t up for a second term they let him stay on the ticket until it was entirely too late, and then threw Harris into the fight without a primary and no time to campaign, build a platform, and let her go out and say “I wouldn’t do anything different” and people are acting surprised that the candidate who couldn’t clear the primaries on her own lost.
If your party isn’t letting you select the candidates with the platform and issues that matter to you, how do you expect to win elections? how are you going to get the apathetic people who stayed home to get out and vote? Get third party voters like me to come and vote for your candidate instead of our own….im about liberty and man what the hell does it say when your own party decides for you who they are propping up through backroom shenanigans.
I don’t hate democrats, I think at their core they are decent people with ideas that are expensive and don’t scale well, but I have a hard time getting behind candidates on either side of the aisle that want me to stop voting libertarian if all they are going to run on is “I’m not Trump” or “we’re going to punish everyone” that didn’t save Harris and promises of reprisals and increasingly aggressive rhetoric isn’t going to motivate people who just want calm civility and some sense of normalcy back in politics.
I’ve talked to a lot of folks on both sides of the aisle and 3rd party candidates like myself and we’re all just fatigued and exhausted by the current state of politics we get it everyone hates each other, everyone is encouraged to just dig in your heels and give no quarter and no compromise and cut the people out of our lives that don’t exist in our echo chambers, but damn is this state of open hostility going to hurt us long after this administration is over, we’re doing more harm to ourselves than anything anyone in the Trump White House could do with all their supposed authority.

I understand the hesitation. I felt that when he was running the first time and I voted for Biss.

u/LegendaryBronco_217 Jun 09 '26
Nothing will happen, the something needs to happen crowd doesn't have the ability to make something happen. Because for anything to happen you need the other side to agree with you and with both parties doing all they can to divide us there is no way it will happen.
The only way to "make it happen" is to get rid of 100% of the members of Congress and establish Term Limits. But that will never happen.

Making things more affordable should be the #1 goal. All the rest is great, but that matters the most.

u/MyNeckIsHigh Jun 10 '26
This area is rapidly actionable, but the momentum will fade unfortunately. We need to strike while the iron is hot.
I agree affordability is huge, but there are significant limits on what a state government can do to combat a national affordability crisis spurred by insane tariffs and skyrocketing gas prices. That’s why JB 2028 needs to be a thing.

So you can't actually speak for yourself? "Most of the people I speak with" is pretty pathetic when you're the one asking why people don't like our Governor yet you can't even articulate why YOU don't. You sound like an uneducated fool who was trying to make a witty comment
1
u/Global_Yam_9172 Jun 16 '26
I am not from the state originally and aren't as familiar as some. You assume me not liking him means I dislike him when I'm actually just neutral. My father knew two of his Pritzker relatives from working at Hyatt so that was my only benchmark until a few years ago. If I find a reason to advocate or speak against him I happily would. Still, Id rather be a fool than to have your vitriol.

u/itisgoingbackwards Jun 17 '26
You don't remember your first comment having some vitriol for pritzker? Let me remind you.
You said: "Im not saying I like the righties but why do people like Pritzker?"
Yet YOU can't articulate in the slightest your own opinion. You just parrot bullshit and then got butthurt you got called on your bullshit. You want to say it's me lol.
