I mean, the DNC supports genocide. Trump is worse, which is really a testament to how phenomally bad he is for just about everyone on the planet. I want progressive democrats on the ballot, but I'm not holding my breath. I'm still going to vote, and I'm going to vote for the least bad option.

voting for any non-progressive candidate perpetuates this system that's controlled by baby raping/eating/killing oligarchic billionaires.

@themeatbridge yep

voting is not a marriage proposal, it's a chess move towards a better future.

I still want everyone at the DNC leadership to choke and die, soonest.

Given the last few decades, you clearly suck at chess

chess moves implies control and voting for the lesser evil isn't a strategic move; it's just hoping that the piece you think you're forced to move does the least amount of damage.

The expected move from progressives is always "forfeit."

Thats precisely what the DNC counts on when they ratfuck progressives. The only reason we got Biden to step down and Kamala to pick Walz was the DNC couldn't delude themselves into thinking they could win. Once Kamala's popularity spiked and they told themselves the left, black people, and/or women would do as they are told, they went back to business as usual.

We need to be screaming from now to 2028 that any candidate who does not support free healthcare, abolition of ICE, and zero weapons for Israel is unelectable.

The DNC does not care if their candidate is electable. They only care that their candidate is not a progressive.
