Progressive here. I vote in every primary and try to rally support for the most progressive in my coalition. Come November, I vote against fascists which means voting for Democrats because they're obviously better in every way.
If you don't vote or vote third party, congratulations, it means you were duped by right-wing propaganda or don't understand how our election system works and the inevitable binary outcome that comes with FPTP and whole you didn't give fascists +2, you gave them +1.
Stockholm syndrome at its finest.
Americans look at the most broken system ever, and you'd think they would come up with ways of fixing it, but instead, they double down on this logic of "lesser evil", and fool themselves into believing that's "good".
It is not.
Choosing the lesser evil means the end result is still evil, it just takes longer.
But sure, disregard all evidence waves arms around that shows the current system is beyond redemption, and line up for the national pastime of "Pick Your Pedo" as a good little boy.
Hit me with those downvotes, I'll ping you when the next presidential election comes around to ask you how your way's been working out.
What else would you propose they do?
Because doing nothing only helps fascists. And voting third party is basically the same as doing nothing.
Why ask me? Go ask Minnesota.
