    Oh, I know it won’t move the needle, I’m just pissed that idiots chose this election to take a pointless stand against the DNC and venting my frustration. They’re complicit in all of the harm done by Trump and friends due to how our election system works.

      Harm reduction only reduces harm in the short term. You’re still feeding the system that got the country in that situation to begin with.

        Future primaries and congressional elections.

        You don’t stop to call the electrician when your house is on fire. You put out the fire first or you won’t have any wiring left to fix.

        One side provided a step by step plan on exactly how they were going to enact a hostile fascist take over the country so you’d never get a chance to vote again, and people decided that it was worth the risk as long as a mediocre Democrat candidate didn’t win.

          I think you’re over-estimating how plugged in the yankee electorate actually is. Google searches for “did Biden drop out” spiked on election day. Most people have not heard about project 2025. Most people were complaining about grocery prices.

          The people who took a moral principle and abstained from voting for the lesser of two genocides, they weren’t what flipped the election. It was almost completely a cost of living election.
