So you're going to promote and support the DNC to remove the fascists in the midterms?

If that's what the DNC seems like they are trying to do, sure. I voted for Kamala in 2024 too, though that was NOT a campaign run by someone trying to remove the fascists, that was one run by someone trying to get their votes.

THAT'S not a vote I'll be making again though.

If you mean unconditionally support the DNC no matter how clearly they work against the values they claim to stand for - nah, I got decades of that already.

Look there are two possible outcomes, remove the GOP by using the DNC or get an ever increasing GOP majority.

If you're supporting the GOP even indirectly then you're not a leftist because left is progress and you're effectively a conservative.

No one seems to be interested in asking what I'd want to see to vote for them, only that I'm wrong for the vote that I might or might not cast in 3.5 years time, which I find very interesting on an intellectual level.

Vote your conscience, dude. Youre more informed then most voters, in short, youre cooked. We should spend resources elsewhere and get better roi.

Sad to have to treat you like a maga.

Choosing beggar. You're willing to throw so many lives away and cause irreparable damages because the DNC only aligns with you 80%? There is nothing intellectual about your proposition.

No one even knows what my half of the proposition is, but that's alright! I'm only one vote! (which is the other thing everyone seems to be forgetting)

You told us, it' not voting for and promoting the DNC. That automatically puts you on the side of enabling fascism. We live in a First Past the Post system, there are only 2 outcomes.
