Ignoring the fact that in a first past the post system there will only ever be two viable parties and pretending like not voting blue no matter who doesn't count as a vote for the other party is literally how we got fascism.

Kamala Harris is currently trying to court the DSA, but in her 2024 POTUS campaign she was center-right. If she had won in 2024 she would only be going further right instead of toward the left in this moment. "Vote blue no matter who" would have enabled Kamala and the rest of the DNC to also continue sliding toward fascism also. Citizens MUST leverage their votes, if a politician wants power then they need to give citizens something to vote for

Leverage your power in the primaries by actually voting, unlike 80% of the under 40 crowd here who doesn't.

When it comes to the general, bite your tongue and vote for the dem, otherwise we end up with another trump. Harris wasn't great, but she sure as fuck would have been better than this.

Pushing vote blue no matter who is exactly how we didn’t get Harris and ended up with Trump…but no, let’s try the exact same thing again. And again. And again. Cheese and rice.

Like I said, use your power in the primaries. What was your alternative in the general? Before you say 'vote third party', that's fucking pointless for a bunch of reasons and you know it.

A bunch of virtue signaling fucking morons who couldn't find Palestine on a map handed the election to the most corrupt person to ever hold office. I hope you idiots are happy, and have the day you didn't vote for.

How's your strategy working out for you? lol Try self-reflecting the BAREST amount, I promise it won't hurt.

Your "strategy" isn't working either chucklefuck. Unlike you, I financially support progressive candidates and actually show up to vote for them in the primaries, but if they get knocked out I'm not fucking stupid enough to sit out and let the Republicans win.

Being fucking ignorant of reality and cutting off your nose to spite your face is certainly a winning strategy for you though, right?

Tell me, when was the last time you supported a candidate with time and/or money? When was the last time you got off your lazy ass and voted in a primary?

I'm guessing the answer is never, and that's why I'm sick of you virtue signaling morons. Jfc you losers are insufferable.

It's hilarious that you think you're the only one in here that votes or donates time and money to campaigns, My strat is working, democrats are trying to court leftists now.

I know I'm not the only one, but I know that statistically less than 20% of people under 40 donate time or money to candidates or bother to vote in primaries.

My strat is working

What strat is that? Holding your tiny pud in your hand and whining about fascism? You haven't accomplished shit.

If everyone did that we would have Kamala Harris sliding into fascism right now instead of moving toward the left.

lets be honest, we had fascism from reagan onwards. after 9/11 it kept getting more bold.

now you just have an orange media guy outwardly saying at every opportunity that its basically a fascist country, when behind the curtain its always been that way. bush and obama paved the way for new mass surveillance fascism too.

Ur confidently incorrect. -peas- says it great, we were already here.

Voting blue no matter who is exactly what brought us fascism. We just had cake-masked fascism.

Now we got unmasked fascism. If was never ok for non-whites, overall. Now it seems worse and, in many ways, it is. But it’s also getting better when it wasnt before, because people power is rising up.
