      If they have a problem with me doing that, they can nominate someone who represents my interests.

      Or just insult me, that’ll work wonders.

          Eh, it’s more about choosing to lose slowly vs. choosing to lose quickly.

          Either way we lose, which is what the lesser-evil means. At least with Trump winning, people might change their strategy to prevent similar wins in the future.

          Biden winning means that the lesser-evil is still in style and we have no reason to address the root of society’s problems.

          I’m sorry you need to resort to personal insults, but that just tells me you’re not confident about your point.

            Wen you elect fascists they don’t always allow free and fair elections in the future so this “similar wins int he future” clause is ignorant. Especially when the fascist in question already attempted one coup to stay in power when he lost an election.

              voting for a fascist is voting against future elections… just giving power to those who must never, ever, have it.

            Accelerationism like that does not work. It makes things worse for everyone and nothing improves in the end.

            If a third of registered Democrats stopped voting for DNC-backed candidates who do not represent them (by not voting or by voting for the Green Party candidate) and the Democrats lost in a landslide, the DNC would have two options:

            1. move left to regain the voters
            2. move right to keep the corporate bribes coming and try to sway Republican voters.

            I am not at all confident that they would select option 1.

              Except that if Trump wins there wont be any voters to win since we won’t have elections anymore. What part about a dictatorship do you people not understand?

                Not everyone is staunchly one party or the other. The people in the middle are the main target for campaigning.

                    That’s just how it’s portrayed in the media.

                    Plenty of people will always vote one way ofc.

                    But just as many people swing based on how well the current government is doing. They are the voters you need to get on side.

        Why? Do you often base your voting intentions on whether people are mean to you on the internet?

        You’re not about to change your mind anyway, so why not have some fun calling you out for what you are?
