How many times are we supposed to vote Democrat against our own interests and better judgment until Trump is successfully stopped?

You’re not voting against your own interests. When mum asks you if you want burnt steak or raw chicken for dinner, you don’t say “ice cream cake” and refuse to make a decision. You pick the burnt steak. Picking burnt steak is not doing anything to make the chance of getting ice cream steak less. But if you don’t pick the burnt steak, you’re getting half and half and you’re getting salmonella.

You’re not voting against your own interests.

You either misgauge thr interests of the average person, or, more charitably, you have bought into this myth that the democratic party is generally benign and harmless to the working class and marginalized groups.

None of the above. Joe is a piece of shit, but voting for him won’t cause anything bad to happen. Anything bad that happens after Joe is elected would have happened if he wasn’t elected. That includes the genocide in Gaza. Voting for Joe won’t make that situation worse.
