my grandfather said the goal of the democrats is to build up a progressive party and that it takes time and lots of votes

he started voting at 18 and was also brainwashed by the democrats into thinking that one vote one day might be the vote that makes the democrats magically transform into a real progressive party too

just like with fairy tales will never come true and the proof is all around us in our $7.25 minimum wage, the low value we put on our education, out of control police, the environment that is under constant threat, our workplaces that values the body as a warm piece of meat to be used as production tool and not as a human being that has rights even at work, and you can even see out in the open by just observing the democrats who are always bedding with the party that supposedly keeps them from doing anything just like the gala harris had with them that included celebrities with democrats like walz who happily worked closely with trump during trumps first four years even being the one who asked trump to work with him

not to mention voting on a machine that is privately owned by some company without a wikipedia page so votes do not matter anyway and even if they did what influences the votes are the ads, education, etcetera which again all owned by the same ones at the tops that own those voting machines

so yeah you voting for democrats means so much
