And i usually prefer progressive policies over lip service. It’s unfortunate that Democratic leadership chose their position. I am not cutting off my nose to spite my face, i am cutting off my nose to save my person. Seems my nose was destined to come off regardless.
I know you won’t see eye to eye with me on this and you probably won’t admit to yourself that you’re helping MAGA but that is what you’re doing by not voting Dem.
You’re just looking for a reason to not vote or cast your vote into a lake of fire and feel good about it. Well you shouldn’t feel good about it.
If we had ranked choice voting or another kind of system then yeah by all means go for it. Sadly that’s not the reality you and I live in here and that means a vote for a third party just causes a spoiler effect for whichever of the two main party candidates are closer aligned politically to the third party.
I guess that’s better than not voting at all though.
I already acknowledge that possibility with that whole ‘cutting my nose off the save my self’ analogy. The problem is i am looking over the long term. What i see is a history of vote blue no matter who being the rallying cry of neocons who are advocating in resisting progressive policy, and promoting historic republicans policies. That under the current leadership we continue to ratchet right. If this pattern persists the situation will get worse. This requires a change as far as i am concerned. So i May conditionally vote Democrat when i find a candidate i can trust, that is a conditional.
