      If more people unconditionally voted for the lesser evil surely that will push them left instead of continuing to creep to the right. There will be as many Manchins as needed to hinder anything even marginally good happening if they win no matter the margin.

      If you’re going to do electoralism you have to understand that your vote is the main bargaining chip. The people who stay home do more to push the democrats left than someone going in to vote blue no matter who. The thing pissing me off by the people who are supposedly on the left constantly telling people that they have to vote is that they don't even understand (or pretend not to) electoral politics.

      This is a person who believes natural law is an unjust hierarchy and can be dismantled by sufficient personal rigor so idealist is barely scratching the surface here

        It seems like they're actually living an unironic timecube.com bit, but one that allows them to position as the wisest (and only true) leftist on earth, while still supporting genocide
