You do realise that if more people would have voted for democrats, student loan loan forgivness would have been granted?
Oh come on. They would do what they always fucking do. They'd find just enough no votes.
Then vote them out in the next primaries or unionize and strike. You have more power than you think.

I'm in Texas. Don't lie to me.
37.06% of voting age population turned out to the 2022 gubernatorial election if 4% more voters that would have voted democrat would have turned up, Texas would now have a democratic governor, but sure you don't have any power.
If you vote and enough others can get out there and vote you can change a state but if you just sit home and do nothing, nothing will happen.
Great. I already vote in every election and primary. In the primaries, party leadership heavily supports anti-choice anti-labor pro-nra candidates like Cuellar. When their efforts to shut progressives out at the primary level fail, they pull the rug out from under them by withholding funding like they did with Vallejo.
Don't lecture me for not being as happy as you are with a party that fights progressives and not Republicans.
Have you tried becoming a State Delegate and influencing the Party Chair? That's a way to influence who gets to decide about supporting whom, isn't it?
I love how centrists' answer to anyone pointing out the party's anti-progressive fuckery is "you're just not doing enough!"
I am definitely not a centrist. I am left and that in Europe but I have enough of people just always blaming others for not getting anything done. This is exactly what happens everywhere right now: People trying to convince voters that their votes don't matter and that will just lead to conservatives, fascists and far-right parties to win. Because they vote all the time.
Oh, you're from Europe?
Cool. Everything wrong with Europe is your fault because you're not involved enough.
