Progressives can NEVER achieve political reforms until liberals have majority control of the Supreme Court. To attain that, liberal voters (Democrats, progressives, independents) must put policy fights aside, UNITE, and focus on long-term STRATEGY. We must vote PRAGMATICALLY for Democrats. #VoteBlue

"So its not about actually defending peoples rights, its about your team winning?" Yes, my team is liberals/Democrats. Here's the chart again. Most Dems have progressive policy goals. Republicans have zero progressive goals. Republicans are 100% anti-LGBTQIA+. So, to stop them, you #VoteBlue.

"What kind of progress have dems been responsible for?" Here's just a partial list:

Democrats have fought for hundreds of progressive policy goals, from marriage equality to Obamacare to environmental protections to gun safety legislation. A lot more work needs to be done, but it's a lie to claim Democrats aren't fighting Republican/conservative ideology, on many fronts.

That's a ridiculous assertion. There is a clear difference between the two parties.

Unfortunately, voting 3rd party doesn't make sense right now, that's the reality of our existing political situation. To reform government, first you have to win elections. Voting 3rd party does not work, and does not advance your political policy goals. Pragmatism is the only rational strategy.

"Both parties are the enemy of the American people" That is a ridiculous statement. You are insane to believe that lie. The two parties are vastly different on dozens of important issues, including LGBTQ+ rights. The choice is clear.

That is ridiculous and you know it. There is a massive difference between the Democrats and Trump. 99% of Democrats support LGBTQ+ rights, versus 7% of Republicans. The choice is clear. If you support trans rights as I do, you must vocally support Democrats. The only rational strategy is #VoteBlue.

I agree with you, but there is no rational alternative right now. The only way to achieve progress for vulnerable communities is to get liberals into power. The only way to do that is to vote for Democrats this November, even if some of those Democrats are imperfect.

I've read it many times. It was written when there was still rule of law, a free press, a relatively fair Supreme Court, and a Republican party with a semblance of integrity. But TODAY, to defeat the fascist regime, liberals must unite and blindly #VoteBlueNoMatterWho, period. There is no other way.

NO I DO NOT THINK CANDIDATES HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO EARN VOTES WHEN THERE ARE FASCISTS IN CONTROL OF THE WHITE HOUSE, THE CONGRESS, THE SUPREME COURT, AND THE DOJ. IF YOU DON'T #VOTEBLUENOMATTERWHO TO ELECT DEMOCRATS IN THE NOVEMBER ELECTION, THERE WILL NEVER BE AN ELECTION IN THE U.S. AGAIN.

"I hope they make choices to ensure people will go out & vote again." So people should simply refuse to vote if they don't like the candidates enough? Millions of people refuse to vote every year; how does that help achieve progressive policy goals? Hint: it doesn't. Not voting is dumb as fuck.

Murcus Bratus #VOTEBLUE (**offline until Monday) @murcusbratus.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
"Seems important enough for the candidates to be uniquely responsive to the voters’ demands then" What are your demands??? Because the Democratic party's demands are: Free and fair elections. Rule of law. Separation of powers. The Constitution. If you refuse to vote for that, YOU are the problem.

Murcus Bratus #VOTEBLUE (**offline until Monday) @murcusbratus.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
"I hope they make choices to ensure people will go out & vote again." No, it is the voters who have a responsibility and obligation to defeat fascism and elect pro-democracy liberals to Congress. ANY Democrat is better than ALL Republicans. It's up to VOTERS to be sensible and vote against fascism.

Murcus Bratus #VOTEBLUE (**offline until Monday) @murcusbratus.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
If your strategy for the November 2026 election is to refuse to vote for the Democrat candidates on the ballot because they aren't progressive enough for you, you're a moron. If you don't actively help elect Democrats, then anti-progressive MAGA GOP candidates will win those elections, you dumbass!

Murcus Bratus #VOTEBLUE (**offline until Monday) @murcusbratus.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
"[the bar is] fighting against the destruction" Yes, but if the candidate loses the election, that candidate cannot even fight the destruction, BECAUSE A REPUBLICAN WON THE CONGRESSIONAL SEAT INSTEAD. YOU. HAVE. TO. VOTE. FOR. CANDIDATES. WHO. CAN. ACTUALLY. WIN. THEIR. ELECTIONS. #VoteBlue

Murcus Bratus #VOTEBLUE (**offline until Monday) @murcusbratus.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
I don't want centrists either, but if the choice is between a centrist Democrat and a MAGA Republican, I will actively support and enthusiastically vote for the centrist Democrat. This is just simple math. If you want to attain progressive policy goals, you need to elect liberals into power FIRST.

Murcus Bratus #VOTEBLUE (**offline until Monday) @murcusbratus.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
There isn't "our way" or "your way." There is only ONE WAY to defeat the extremist Republicans in Congress, and that is for liberals, progressives, and Democrats to unite and vote pragmatically for CANDIDATES WHO CAN ACTUALLY WIN ELECTIONS. #VoteBlueNoMatterWho is the only rational strategy in 2026.

Murcus Bratus #VOTEBLUE (**offline until Monday) @murcusbratus.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
If you don't support *all* Democrats in the November 2026 election, even the centrist ones, then you are helping the GOP win elections. The choice is clear. Withholding your vote is not a rational strategy. #VoteBlueNoMatterWho is the only way for liberals to regain control of the government.

Murcus Bratus #VOTEBLUE (**offline until Monday) @murcusbratus.bsky.social · 02/09/2026
"learn how you can help defeat fascism and elect a new, fighting Congress" The only way for liberals to gain control of Congress is to win elections, and the only way to do that is to vote for candidates WHO CAN ACTUALLY WIN THEIR ELECTIONS. Liberals must unite behind VIABLE candidates. #VoteBlue

Murcus Bratus #VOTEBLUE (**offline until Monday) @murcusbratus.bsky.social · 25/08/2026
By literally voting our way out of this. Liberals/democrats/progressives/independents must put policy differences aside and UNITE STRATEGICALLY to defeat the fascist authoritarian regime. We must vote for liberal candidates who can actually win their elections. That means #VoteBlueNoMatterWho.

If you vote for Democrats and help get Democrats elected, SOME of your progressive policy goals can be achieved. If you withhold your vote and don't help Democrats get elected, NONE of your policy goals will be achieved -- and, millions of citizens will have their rights taken away. You choose.

To achieve progressive reforms, you must first get liberals in control of the branches of government. The only way to do that is to vote for popular candidates who can actually win their elections: Democrats. Voting #BlueNoMatterWho is the only rational long-term strategy for liberal voters.

To defeat the corrupt fascist authoritarians, progressive/liberal voters must unite behind candidates who can actually win their elections. That means voting for Democrats. The only path to regaining control of the government is to be pragmatic and #VoteBlueNoMatterWho to put sane people in power.

Trump won in 2024 because a minority of voters showed up and voted in massive numbers, while a massive majority of voters who could have stopped Trumpism by voting for Harris-Walz refused to. The election was decided by 2.3 million votes. 35 million registered voters refused to vote in 2024. Fools.

For people who say they won't vote unless a candidate "inspires" them, just look at the Democratic Party's main policies. When you refuse to #VoteBlue, America gets hideous Republican policies. We must unite and vote pragmatically for lefty candidates who can actually win their elections: Democrats.

Murcus Bratus #VOTEBLUE (**offline until Monday) @murcusbratus.bsky.social · 08/08/2026
In 2016, 33% of Americans realized that if they all united and voted for Trump, they could win and gain control over the other 67% of Americans who only vote "if the candidate inspires them." If you want progressive reform, you must unite and vote pragmatically to win elections. #VoteBlueNoMatterWho

No, Nader cost Gore the election, but thanks for offering me a toot on your pipedream pipe. In a perfect world, you could vote your conscience. But right now, the choice is fascist Nazis or Democrats. Voting for a 3rd party helps the Nazis, period.

Please stop publicly attacking the only political party that has a mathematical chance to defeat the authoritarian Trump regime. If you want the House Democrats to do something differently, pick up a phone and call them, behind the scenes. When you attack Democrats, you're helping Republicans.

Murcus Bratus #VOTEBLUE (**offline until Monday) @murcusbratus.bsky.social · 01/07/2026
When you *publicly* criticize Democrats, you are giving people a reason to withhold their votes from Democrats. If you want to attack Democrats, do it via email, not social media. This is not the time for ANY public criticism of Democrats. To defeat the GOP, we must have total unflinching unity.

Refusing to vote is not a strategy. It's stupidity. To achieve reforms, you must first attain majority control of government. That is done by winning elections. Liberals/progressives must UNITE pragmatically with Democrats and #VoteBlueNoMatterWho. It's the ONLY way to defeat conservativism/fascism.

Murcus Bratus #VOTEBLUE (**offline until Monday) @murcusbratus.bsky.social · 28/05/2026
In the 2026 elections, liberal voters must put aside candidates' character, political policies, campaign finances, debate performances, and even competency. WE MUST WIN ELECTIONS, DEFEAT CONSERVATIVES, AND GET MAJORITY CONTROL OF THE HOUSE/SENATE AND STATE LEGISLATURES. We must #VoteBlueNoMatterWho.

Murcus Bratus #VOTEBLUE (**offline until Monday) @murcusbratus.bsky.social · 22/05/2026
#VoteBlueNoMatterWho is the only effective strategy for liberal-minded citizens to attain power in government, by pragmatically voting for people who can actually win elections. You will never see any progressive policy goals achieved if the candidates you vote for always lose! You must vote to win!

If the U.S. had an actual fair democratic electoral system, you could vote with your heart. But gerrymandering, dark money, and propaganda skew the playing field. So, for liberals to enact progressive policies, we must win elections and attain power by voting with our heads. #VoteBlueNoMatterWho.

That is a fantasy pipedream. It can't happen in the next 10 years, and meanwhile, millions more citizens lose healthcare, abortion, civil/voting rights, freedoms, and fascists remain in power. Your selfish interests are NOT more important than the needs of your 3,000,000 fellow citizen Americans.

"this position and attitude will allow populist opportunists to take over" No, you're the ones who allowed that to occur, because you refuse to vote for Democrats, thus enabling Trump. There is a clear difference between the 2 parties. Withholding your vote is not a strategy, it's selfish idiocy.

Murcus Bratus #VOTEBLUE (**offline until Monday) @murcusbratus.bsky.social · 22/05/2026
The only path forward for progressive reforms is riding with the Democrats, because Democrats have viable candidates. You're a clueless pipedreamer who refuses to see that to achieve power majorities, you must use pragmatic strategy to win elections. Enjoy your fascism-enabling ignorance, sucker.

"which is a major reason why many stayed home" No, there is no "reason" to stay home. People who refuse to vote are the #1 enablers of Trump. Sitting out is moronic non-strategy; refusing to vote is exactly what the Republicans wanted liberals to do, and it worked! You're the suckers, not the Dems!

Murcus Bratus #VOTEBLUE (**offline until Monday) @murcusbratus.bsky.social · 21/05/2026
And those who stayed home and refused to #VoteBlueNoMatterWho are the reason why Trump won 2024. That's not the fault of the Democratic party, it's the fault of short-sighted voters who refuse to follow strategic pragmatism. THE ONLY PATH TO MAJORITY POWER IS TO UNIFY AND #VOTEBLUE TO WIN ELECTIONS.

"Withholding your vote from socialist doesnt achieve any reforms either." No one is doing that. 3rd party socialists lose consistently. Most voters aren't dumb enough to vote for people who can't possibly win elections. Maybe someday you'll figure that out and stop wasting your votes.

"They are both right leaning garbage." Your claim is absolutely ludicrous. Look at these dozen key political policy positions that impact hundreds of millions of people. There is a clear difference between the parties. Plus, Democrats are the only party that is fighting the fascists.
