yayyy the same conversation we have every week on this websiteeeeeee shall we remind one another that 30 years ago there was a protest in tiananmen while we're at it
I mean, the Democrats just ran a historically bad campaign. No primary, consistently bad polling, a candidate with one foot in the grave swapped out at the very last minuet for a VP who didn't even survive Super Tuesday back in 2020.
That nearly a year later we keep rehashing the efficacy of "Vote Blue No Matter" lesser-evil strategic voting, kinda doesn't bode well, does it? That even those of us plugged in and paying attention feel like the party isn't gonna learn any lessons, so we better start preemptively defending their future fuck ups. You think the broader public of disinterested yankees is really gonna rally behind that?
Why are you backpedalling on your opinion? You said it's "all well and good" for two individuals like us to talk about strategic voting. Were you lying when you said that?
not backpedaling, just expressing exhaustion
yes, obviously vote for the least bad candidate when there's nothing better. But fuck, it's not even an election year and we're still saying that rather than asking for better candidates
Well that's OP's fault for saying the party can't be reformed. There are people like Zohran Mamdani who can take over the party the same way Trump took over the Reps. And OP wants you to not even try, and be stuck with the same two choices forever.
