    I can’t wait for all the leftists on here to tell us why we shouldn’t vote for democrats.

    Working hard to throw the next election to the Republicans, yet again, I see.

        Fucking braindead strawman argument. We’re demanding better Democrats, not third-party losers.

        Quit insulting people’s intelligence, pretending we don’t understand game theory.

        You’re absolutely not wrong. And these people that constantly counter anything less progressive than their perfect idea of progressive give me vibes of “spoiling the opposition from both sides” and feel astroturfed a lot of times.

        But that said, we fucking need progressive policies and candidates. I myself polished the Overton Window for far too long as discourse kept harming more and more people. We need politicians working passionately for the people and against corporate power. We need to fight for progress and fight even harder against fascism. And we need to convince people along the way. No more status quo. But I’ll be damned if I’ll let perfection stand in the way of improvement.
