    So you’d rather move 100 yards right in your analogy then by ensuring a Trump victory. Got it.

    If you want to be an indignant self-righteous leftist deciding to not vote, don’t be surprised when you don’t get a chance to vote for a leftist candidate four years from now, or ever. You’re acting like a petulant child over an extremely important election just because you can’t get EXACTLY what you want.

      Hey look, a Democrat treating leftists as a bigger enemy than the Republicans while expecting us to vote for them so we move 60 yards right instead of 100. 🤷

      If leftists are the reason democrats can’t pull a win as yall can’t stop having an aneurysm screaming at us about, maybe it’s time you move your policies left instead of bullying us at every turn as you sprint further right chasing “centrists” we all know will NEVER vote for a dem.

        You need to watch Beau of the Fifth Column.

        If you want to build a leftist movement it has to start local. Run for the school board. Build a community network

        Don’t let the fascists win because of the Democrats not being left enough.

        You build the coalition from the bottom up, not from the top down.

          I vote against fascism,and I vote against genocide. You give me a Democratic candidate that can do better than “I sidestep congress to fund genocide instead of sidestepping congress to commit genocide” and I’ll vote for them. 🤷

          I can’t get over the fact that yall claim to be the “good guys” by backing full fascism in 4 years instead of this year. It’s still fascism my guy. Yall keep yelling at us that it’s OUR fault for not backing local antifascism, but SPOILERS - YOU’RE THE ONES BACKING FASCISTS.

          You keep backing fascism then taking some sort of high ground for doing so. Get the fuck out of here. YOU ARE THE BAD GUYS BECAUSE YOU’RE STILL VOTING FOR FASCISM. You don’t magically become the good guy for voting fascist locally as well as nationally.

            I read your comment five times over and still don’t know what point you’re trying to make. It seems like you’re insistent on being contrarian and using the “both sides” argument we got back in 2016. Luckily, being through it once made us smarter. Good try, though.

            Tell your troll farm buddies to your left and right that we say hi.
