Yeah I’d love it if we could get extremely leftist primary candidates on the ballot so people could vote for them. I’m not sure what the problem is, we haven’t even been having this cyclical argument you’re presenting.
We have the dems need to move left but won’t, we’ll vote 3rd party then, can’t do that it’s worse (right said a waste not split the vote, we need to change it from the inside.
I know you haven’t been reading though my replies but we’ve been going through the loop of the dems are the only option possible
I have read your replies. Your replies don’t seem to get what I’m saying though, so I keep responding.
Dems are the only option. That is the situation as it is now. There are things which we should do and need to change, but that’s not here, nor now. So yes, we have to, begrudgingly, vote for Democrats.
Saying that there’s things we should do and are going to do and changes that need to happen are cheap words, and saying you shouldn’t vote at all because of the shitty situation or things need to be done is purposefully taking away power from the people.
Voting even helps Democrats move to the left. Voting got Mamdani elected. That’s one more Democrat that’s more left. His success and popularity will sway more people to run and put out more leftist policies. Those people only get into power by voting, in primaries and I’m big elections. That can only happen if ya vote.
Well then if it’s pointless may as well make it a little harder and annoying for Republicans
Which is the opposite of what in the majority of democrats in office want to do.
Hell this month Obama was even saying the republicans need to be strong.
If only there was a way to pick which Democrat you’d like… Like with a primary vote or something…

We’ve had everything but they’re not real Democrats
If that’s what you think then you haven’t even read what I’ve been saying and arguing against a made up person.
