California’s governor is being touted as a successor to the Biden throne. Though he’s often imagined as a beacon of progress, his feckless record shows otherwise.
I believe what I believe, and whoever shares my values, will get my support. Compromising on my values to get some kind of “strategic alliances” is something I don’t do. If you look across the world and across history, that generally doesn’t end well in the long term.
As long as you vote for someone I don’t care whether you choose the candidate that I would vote for. There’s no wasted votes, I’ve voted 3rd party when the major candidates aren’t someone I can vote for in good conscience.
If you abstain on “principle” because there isn’t a politician that perfectly aligns with your values then yeah, you’re just dumb and you’re part of the problem.
About 60% of the country votes in the general election, much less in the primaries, and much, much less in local elections. People that don’t vote because they can’t be assed suck, but the ones that sit on a high horse and scoff at the system that they play a huge hand in perpetuating through some misguided moral high ground are literally the worst.

Bruh what do you think political parties are?
Unions, national alliances, society… It’s all people compromising on their individual values.
Good for you for letting perfect be the enemy of good, bet you feel so vindicated as the world burns down around you.
And where did partisan politics bring us to? The world is burning down around us even without my help. I think this validates my point.

I dunno, I’d say the left tried it your way in 2016 and 2024 and how’s that working out?
