    I’ve been holding my nose for decades now. Voting for the blue circle doesn’t get us any closer to the left. In fact, voting for the “lesser evil” is still getting us pulled farther right, to the point that both options openly support genocide.

    If luring Dems left is even possible, it has to be done by making them lose. Rewarding them with a win, after they go further right, just encourages them to keep moving right.

      All you do by “making them lose” is make shit worse for everyone who isn’t a full-blown right-wing religious nutter.

      Voting for the blue circle helps ensure that you can ever have a choice again. Voting for anything else if you’re left of the blue circle provides succor to would-be tyrants.

      And that’s on you. That’s your failure of logic helping to pave the way for an even harder shift to the right.

      What’s the term for someone who helps fascists get their way?
