So you're saying it doesn't help the Republicans?
I'm saying that centrists already help the republicans.
But god fucking forbid someone to their left have any criticism whatsoever.
You don't care about a goddamned thing except securing the silence of the left.
I care about securing the success of the Democrats. Anything else is securing l ensuring success of Republicans. It's literally two choices. You don't get a good one. You hope to reject the worse one.
And moving to the right and throwing vulnerable minorities under the bus hasn't done that, but it's helping republicans to try to get the party to ever stop betraying anyone not named netanyahu or cheney.
Irrelevant. You only get two options. Bad or worse. And if you fail to vote, you get worse.
Youre a hostage. So am I. And until we get ranked choice voting, or run for office ourselves, we remain hostages. And in hostage situations, you just have to strive for the least bad option.
It's very not complicated. It's rigged. And not in our favor.
I do vote and I get worse anyway. And centrist shitheads interpret anything other than performative worship of their garbage party as not voting. You don't hjave to convince me to vote. You're just trying to convince me to shut up. You're getting what you want and you're gloating.
