If you're not even willing to vote against the fascists your laziness is hampering your ability to contribute to a real revolution.
If you can't tell the difference between the greater evil and the lesser evil then your lack of nuance is hampering your ability to contribute to a real revolution.
If you don't understand that our voting system is designed to ensure that there are only two viable parties then your lack of education is hampering your ability to contribute to a real revolution.
If you vote, and do nothing else to contribute to positive change, then your laziness and cowardice is hampering your ability to contribute to a real revolution.
Fortunately, these are all fixable issues. You can grow into a more capable person. If enough of us do that we CAN make positive changes to the country, and the world at large.
We CAN oust the fascists. We CAN build a voting system that actually allows for a reasonable bredth of choice. We CAN fix this country. I'm not asking you to give up your opinions or your free will. I'm not asking you to worship the Democrats, or even like them. I'm not asking you to turn a blind eye to all the harmful things democrats have done.
I'm asking you to use your brain and actually steer your actions towards actually making a difference. Part of that is using the resources at your disposal strategically. Closing your eyes to reality and refusing to vote against the fascist isn't going to change the democrats, nor will it replace them with something better. All it does is pointlessly give up ground to the fascists.
Gurl...what you're not understanding is: liberals and the Democratic Party are the fascists, too. Notice how Dems in office are still voting to fund ICE and fund the Israeli genocide and how they're still voting in Trump's nominees and still giving Trump standing ovations at his State of the Union (yeah Elizabeth Warren and John Ossoff did that). The reason: all of these Dem politicians are funded by the same billionaires and foreign lobbies that fund Republican politicians. Who funds you controls you.
Saying I want more options than fascists and fascist-enablers isn't not being willing to vote. Tell me which party our old friend Bernie Sanders is part of and maybe you'll see what's possible.
However, it's insulting to dictate my actions and force me to accept the Democratic party as anything remotely resembling scavengers who enable Republicans to do whatever they want in hopes they fuck up so they can pick up seats as the "other guys." Which is what they do when they're not fucking up and just whiffing reasonable opportunities because they are driven by money and billionaires just as much as the Republicans.
My friend, look at how brainwashed you are to lick Dem boots because you think they're tastier than some oversized Florsheim shoes. I'm asking you to get off your knees and get everyone's boots out of your mouth.
