They literally don’t want your vote.

For this election, the Democrats should be renamed the Democracy Party.
It was called “The Democracy” in the early-ish 19th century. So there’s even some precedent.

@jbf1755.bsky.social I agree voting in the 2026 midterms is no time for party politics. We are facing an existential threat to our democratic government & way of life. But asking Indies & Never Trumpers to vote Democratic scares many away (identity politics 👎). This should be ProDemocracy vs. MAGA.
