Seriously, people... throwing out your best option because you want better one down the road...
It's a strategy... I used it to protest the DNC in 2016... BUT IT REQUIRES YOU STILL HAVE A DEMOCRACY AND NOT A FASCIST DICTATORSHIP RUN BY AN INSURRECTIONIST. YOU FUCKED IT.
We are all responsible, nobody is more responsible than somebody else. Compromising on politicians that don't even come close to representing the American people is not going to win 2026 or 2028 and get us anything different than MAGA.
It'll get me a world where I'm not actively hunted down for my sexuality or skin color, so that would be nice.
Will they win though? Kamala cemented it in my head that Democrats appealing to centrists and old-school Republicans isn't effective strategy.
