“We recognize that, in the next four years, our decision may cause us to have an even more difficult time. But we believe that this will give us a chance to recalibrate, and the Democrats will have to consider whether they want our votes or not.”
That’s gotta be one of the strangest reasonings I’ve heard in a while.
It’s not strange at all.
I don’t know. Voting against someone who will likely get you better results and acknowledging that the alternative, Trump and Republicans, will be worse seems pretty strange to me.
It also assumes that Democrats will actually lose votes by taking the stance they’ve taken. At the other end, Democrats are adding Jewish and Christian votes in this argument.
Voting against someone who will likely get you better results
They’re not getting results though, that’s the point. They feel like they’re being ignored etc, despite always backing the democrats. If it takes changing your vote to someone else that will ignore you to get the guys that are supposed to stand up for you then that’s a necessary thing sometimes.
You should never just vote for a party indefinitely, especially when they’re not accomplishing what you want them to. This is how the shitty 2 party system takes over and you end up with 2 slight variations of the same thing.
I agree that the 2-party system is complete crap. Worst ever.
But voting utterly against your own interests to get your way even less just makes no sense to me. To each their own, I guess.
But again - their own interests aren’t being met. They’re not getting their way. They can’t have their interests met any less, but they can make the party that pretends to have their best interests in mind sorry for taking their vote for granted.
