    I’m not in the market for ineffective virtue signal

    methinks thou doth protest too much

    • Which is why I came to a hostile community to criticize ineffective ideological purity and get called a liberal? Who exactly am I signaling virtue to here?

            did you vote for Democrats? was it effective?

            ipso facto

            • Did you not? Was that effective at accomplishing your policy goals? Did the party realize the error of their ways and shift radically left? Oh, they’re already floating running Harris again? Huh.

                if you know voting doesn’t work, then we’re done here

                • Voting works for what it’s designed to do: select the most popular candidate among voters. If you didn’t vote, or voted for an unpopular candidate, that’s not the fault of the election. What it doesn’t work for is unfocused feedback against a party. When Hilary lost, we got Biden. When Biden was rebuffed, we got Harris.

                  Hitting a bolt with a wench instead of using it as intended is not proof that wrenches don’t work. You’re just using it wrong.
