That's generally a great advice, but what about that one scenario where the other candidate is genuinely even worse at pretty much every single thing you care about? I do hope it won't come to that, but I think I'm not the only one who hoped for things to be really different today. Yet her we are.
Sounds like we should prevent that scenario from coming to pass, since if Newsome gets the nomination he's going to lose. It's probably a better use of your time to try to stop Newsome from being the nominee than to engage in the impotent tactic of vote shaming three years in advance, huh?
People are already opting for Trump's third term three years in advance. Things are going to get even more stupid. IMO, there needs to be a better candidate soon.
Then that is a failure of the democratic party to not weed out unacceptable candidates. This is why a third of the country doesn't vote. Because they don't feel heard by the politicians who are supposed to be on our side. We are where we are, because we keep voting for the lesser of two evils.
The lesser of two evils, is still evil and we'll never bring us the change and progress we desperately need. And saying you're going to vote for whatever Democrat is in the general election just lessens your negotiating power. Dems don't have to change if you'll vote for them no matter what.
But is the bigger of the two evils bringing you the change you need? Or are things just getting worse and worse?
You don't fight evil by being slightly less evil. If the Democrats aren't willing to fight for the people, we shouldn't be expected to vote for them just because they're not the Republicans. I want an actual opposition party instead of the corporate bought enabling party that the Dems are.
And in the absence of an actual opposition party, you just let the Republicans make things worse? Seems like the far right hijacked the Republican party and reshaped it to its image, while people on the left do nothing and wait for the very Democrat party they hate so much to somehow save the day?
