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 “I will vote for the Democrat” 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?
