    The voters want to win, if the party doesn't they will find someone who does. But that requires people having standards and not just blindly voting bloo no matter who.

      Im not really convinced by this, nothing would make liberals more happy than being fraudulently oppressed losers

        Oh believe me, I am not standing here saying you have to vote. Not in the slightest.

        I vote in a manner that I feel is the most synergistic between what everyone wants to call "harm reduction" without betraying my values. American politics is so binary that I feel that trying to use it to stem the tide of right-wing extremism while trying to find ways to weaken the Democrats from within is the ideal approach. My view is keep them a headless opposition party that maintains as much legislative power as possible to counter any right-wing leadership. Let the Republicans be the face of everything that is wrong, and leave the Democrats unable to follow in their footsteps, but work against them.

        There is little to nothing you are going to accomplish electorally, but that little bit I still try to use and leverage. You can say it won't matter, but it won't stop me from trying. I am not advocating that others do the same or vote one way or another. My original post was a explanation of my position while issuing a takedown on the useless Liberals that have no plan or direction other than to be "not the other party".

          Saying im not going to vote is the most harmful thing I can do to a liberal, even if I do vote i tell them I dont

            Very well. Keep up the good fight comrade. stalin-heart

            Edit: I do also tell people I didn't vote for Biden and that is enough. My stepmother had an utter meltdown when I told her wasn't going to... which ultimately I didn't.

          on a national level. You can easily egg the house of your city alderman if you don't like what he's doing and if you're lucky enough to have local comrades maybe you can do more than just keeping out as many christofascists as possible.
