      Democrats are pro-nazi, pro-genocide, pro-police, pro-prison, pro-concentration camps, pro-deportations, pro-tariffs, pro-landlord, anti-healthcare, anti-worker, anti-trans, anti-gay, and anti-women. In what world are they even remotely left wing?

      You do realize that DSA candidates are fairly successful (to varying degrees of positive outcomes) regionally, and to a lesser extent PSL though they are further left.

      It is this mindset from liberals such as yourself that actually stops good things from happening.

      Also if the Democratic party keeps eating shit to/failing to accomplishing anything in the face of the open fascist party I don’t trust them to do anything good ever. You also discount all the marginalized people actively harmed by their right wing policies (and they are very much a right wing party).

          Years of lesser of two evil voting has sent us to the lesser of two genocides, and the US picked the bigger genocide anyway. How long are you going to imagine that as being a viable strategy? How many genocide only elections will it take?

          History will view lesser evil voters the same way they veiw ww2 German citizens who were just doing as they’re told.

          if Democrats are the “only option” then leftists have no option.

          Democrats are losers even when they win, so might as well vote for the “actually leftist” parties instead. they’ll lose the election, but Dems lose after they win.

          if leftists vote for a representative cuz “they can win”, but when they win they don’t represent leftists, why should leftists vote for them?

          fuuuuck that shit.

          Dems suck, they think/act like they know best. They tell us they’re gonna do what they’re gonna do anyway and that we need to follow em like good employees or kiddos. no thanks, i don’t need "reps"like that, they can eat shit

          I’m good continuing to vote 3rd party. ill take my L with pride rather than vote for those professional losers ever again

              Yeah the most pro Nazi democrat of them all. Er go I have no choice but assume this person is just a fascist that doesn’t like the optics of republicans except when, of course, they apparently do.

      Just like the pit of infinite despair and spiked dildos is technically different from the pit of infinite spiked dildos and despair; being to the left of republicans because you want to burn orphans for warmth instead of fun does not make you left wing nor a good choice.
