    Holy shit, so many words just to cope that you got owned. Yikes.

    Name another “aspect of treatment” from within your delirious worldview, if voting for the lesser evil is just one aspect. I dare you to elaborate.

    More significant progress requires alternative methods.

    Like what?! You’re so close to reality, yet so far away.

      What are you, 12? Why would I be “owned” by a fundamental misunderstanding of electoral mechanisms?

      Name another “aspect of treatment”

      • Promoting progressive candidates in primaries

      • Writing your representatives directly

      • Becoming active in local politics

      • Protesting

      • Arming yourself

      • Building community and mutual aid with your neighbors

      • Unionizing your workplace

      • Collaborating with leftist groups to coordinate action

      And that’s off the top of my head. None of those actions are lessened in any way by voting for whatever the Dems put out in the general election, to keep MAGA out. Any other electoral action perpetuates the acceleration of fascism. We’ve got concentration camps and military in the streets, continuing to pretend that “both sides” are identical is just patently unserious if not deliberately in bad faith.

      Your turn. Answer the question: What alternative action is available at the ballot box that yields a better outcome? I think you keep dodging the question because you know you don’t have an answer. You’re either a shill, or a kid hypnotized by counterproductive idealism.
