The democrats don't mind a republican president they are part of the same ecosystem of power, if you don't understand this it makes sense why you'd ask these questions

I'd understand or join with the lefty never-voting-anti-capitalist tankies if they had a plan, or a strategy, or a goal, or a coalition they were building towards. But there is nothing. No movement, no goals, no aims to achieve political power. It's all virtue signaling. We have people from Syria and Palestine literally begging the lefties to cease their rhetoric because it's causing more harm than good. But the reality is lefties aren't interested in solutions. They want to feel good about their online social media activism and watch Hassan Piker stream from a luxury hotel in Cuba while 90% of the country goes without electricity. That is the peak american socialist movement.

What's happened is the left has drifted far enough that a fair amount of the progressives are no longer happy with their decisions.
There are a surprising number of people out there who think that not voting at all and them losing will send them a message and they're going to change. They will not.
They will once again say, well, he fucked up the country bad enough we can put whoever fits our needs the best here. People will certainly vote against the right now...
