    Then again what is the other Option? Not vote for either candidate like in 2024 and let Trump win?

    I’m not a US citizen but I still act similar in my local elections - vote for the candidate that will do less evil when they’re in office, if there is no better option. And I gotta hand it to the DNC they’re really amazing at just cutting off their own legs. Because shooting themselves in the knee can’t describe this.

      Or, just run a non-genocidal candidate. For God’s sake, the election is years away, and you just take it as obvious that Democrats will choose a monster

      Im sorry but thats just a losing strategy, if you dont demand better, you will never get better as a choice

      you should always vote and only vote for the most progressive candidate available; do not settle for the lesser evil.

      we’ve been voting for the lesser evil for decades and here we are w trump in the white house and so many liberals disaffected by the system that there aren’t even enough 3rd party voters to make up for the difference.
