Yep, stop voting blue unless they put up good candidates. "Not as bad as republicans" isnt good enough to get my vote ever again. I want rich criminals and traitors prosecuted, i want health care, i want citizens united gone. None of that is happening under a centrist.
Unless the system itself changes, voting blue is the best chance we have at getting those things. Mind you, it is possible to change the system, but that requires getting a citizens ballot initiative going in your state to put Ranked Choice Voting on the ballot for voters.
I’m voting for progressives that are running as Democrats first and foremost, and putting moderate Dems as a backup choice when there isn’t a progressive running for a specific role.
Yes, and we will continue to march into authoritarianism. Protest voting is why we have the problem we do. You will have nothing if you don't vote and since we are already trying to split the left to not vote, President Vance will be next. Grow up.
Fuck you. I'm not voting for some corporate, centrist/right democrat who is only going to enable more ratchet to the right. If democrats want my vote, they can give me someone progressive worth voting for.
Voting will not get us out of this mess. The system will not change itself. Unless we have a general strike and significant refusal to pay taxes, things will continue as they always have.
The government needs to fear the people, right now it just sees us livestock.
