Being against all genocide isn’t oversimplifying anything
Genocide denier
Apathy benefits only the republicans
Democrats better not put forward candidates people are apathetic about then.
Responsibility lies with "The Democrats" (some sort of far away secret group that I can't influence) and not with any American. If those Democrats can't give me my perfect candidate, then I'll just give up and let the fascists win. Also, I can't figure out why they won't do this--my ideal liberal candidate would appeal to the majority of Americans!
It is never the party's job to appeal to voters. There is one designated party that is just owed support and should never have to craft another appeal besides "The Republicans can't fill out the paperwork properly, that is why we will build the wall faster, put people in concentration camps at greater numbers, and do fascism better and more politely than the dumb, knuckle-dragging fascists"
No, Democrats and Liberals using Trump 2 as an excuse to be vocally pro-genocide and forcing people to accept pro-fascism is what caused Trump 2, since the party cannot fail only be failed by voters willing to accept fascism but not turned off by crude, ham-fisted forms of fascism. The problem, supposedly, is people that oppose Trump's policies, rather than just needing the Trump policies being polite. It is the Democrat's need to always adopt all of the previous Republican policies, and their only goal is being the Republicans, but polite. If Genocide and fascism is not a red line, but completely acceptable to support, as long as you can imagine another regime doing the genocide slightly worse, there is no evil you will not work for and support.
Voting is not a sign of support for everything the candidate does. It's a choice for who you want to be in the position, and none of the above is not a possible outcome.
Choosing to not vote means you're choosing whoever the majority of voters pick
Or maybe, we can use this to protest and vote for political change. We cannot allow lobbies to buy politicians anymore, and campaign spending must be capped.
That was poetic as shit, man
