Do you know the first thing about the Democratic platform? It’s not perfect - and they’re not perfect - but I have a trans kid, and they’re the ones who want him to have rights and be treated like a human being. They’re also the ones who want to raise taxes on the rich to fund social services. They’re also the ones who accept the demonstrable reality of climate change. They’re also the ones who resist efforts to put religion into schools and government.
Are they as left as I wish they were? Nope. But they’re not conservative, either, at least not most of them.
I guarantee they will not accomplish anything: they want to hold it over you to score votes in perpetuity. they will also continue to take corporate dollars and water down legislation that does pass so it greases the palms of their donors.
They’re neo-libs which is better because the conservatives are fascists.
But they’re both evil. Just a matter of degree. Hence us voting for the lesser of the two.
voting for evil is bad
edit: people downviting me prefer to vote for evil
It’s not great but we have to be pragmatic unfortunately.
And it’s pretty shitty honestly that what the neo-libs have going for them is at least we’re not fascists.
Need a strong third party and ranked choice voting.
