I wish there was a way of explaining this to liberals without them getting lost in a "technically better than" conversation that goes nowhere.

It's why you have downvotes when we're talking about a candidate that is almost entirely funded by Israel SuperPAC groups.

Can you liberals save your "lesser evil" arguments for when it might actually matter. This election is red Israel or blue Israel vs. Abdul and the people. Let us shit on the Dems sometimes. We're getting you better candidates and we have momentum. We deserve some "fuck the establishment Dems" for all our phone banking and door knocking.

Don't wait until we've got half the House Democrats under DSA. Come join us now. Then you can be a smug "technically" Andy on our side. We could use it sometimes. I promise it feels even better to rub wins in conservatives faces when your candidate actually has real policies. Don't go down with a sinking ship.

I’m a progressive “liberal” and I’m voting for the Green Party members, progressives and democratic socialists and helping them take over the Democratic Party

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
