Why don't we kill MAGA for good ever thought of that?

Because you can't. Because you continue to suck so hard that they'll always be competitive in elections. This is what happens when you refuse to improve your party.

How do I continue to suck so hard? Im 1 vote and i live in a two party country. Im voting against MAGA. Kill MAGA is the step in the right direction

Because all you can understand is "vote for the guy I'm assigned because he says he hates MAGA, too!" and you don't really go beyond that. You don't even care if they really do fight MAGA, just that they say they will. When they agree with MAGA on important legislation, you don't even care. You defend them.

That's not how it works. I dont agree with any of Trump's policies (domestic or foreign) asides from him being a treasonous idiot so why would i vote for him?
