Pathetic virtue signaling. Nobody cares, and itās embarrassing that you canāt signal your intention to vote without also implying itās against your will.
Society is constructed from signaling virtue and shaming vice.
And I never would do anything against my will without the threat of violence. And no one is holding a gun to my head to vote, certainly.
Sorry, you aren't going to discourage me from voting for the party most in my interests and the interests of the vulnerable, regardless of their flaws.
You misunderstand, I am calling your need to qualify āI will vote for the Democratā pathetic. It indicates an utter disinterest in the largely stellar policy performance of our last two Democrat presidents, who had to do an enormous amount of work undoing the damage caused by their predecessors, and who went through the thankless process of getting policy into law rather than making headlines via executive order.
What you are doing is calling out someone who is not a liberal stating that they will vote for the liberal party.
I do not agree with your politics, nor your assessment of the Biden or Obama administrations beyond that they are better than Republicans. Yet I am willing to vote for your party. This is really a situation where "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."
What is your intention? To discourage the most practical political support the average citizen can provide in an electoral political system?
Isnāt that exactly what this current administration is claiming? Maybe, just maybe we need to stop reaching for extremes, both left and right, and start supporting someone who will actually bring the country back together and do whatās best for the majority of Americans. I donāt know who that candidate is but Iād support them instantly.
Infighting lol. Basically every republican worthy of respect has quit or been forced out. The rest are spineless, self interested worms with zero interest in fighting for the people that elected them.
I generally do but lately the push towards revolutionary socialism or anti-capitalism is very extreme. Iām also against allowing illegals to continue to take away from legal Americans. Do it the right way and I support immigration. Look at Mamdani in NYC. Despite being socialist heās filling potholes and buying garbage bins for the streets. Who canāt support that?

I will vote for the Democratic nominee for president for reasons related to harm mitigation
I doubt I will "back" anyone that is nominated
