That's a big assumption to be made about me, especially when I said

Voting Democrat in the general election is the choice with (edited in: the) least horrible consequences

(that is, one should vote for Democrats).

I believe voting is the bare minimum of political effort that should be expected of every citizen of an electoral country, and that tactical voting is sometimes necessary.

And I understand your disappointment with the American left. My comment is addressed to them as much as it is to you.
