The point is that it doesn't matter who you vote for, and pretending otherwise is a bit absurd. All we get are neoconservative politics no matter who we elect. The difference is one side pretends to be powerless and just lets the bad shit happen. (Except for genocide and poverty, which they enthusiastically aid and support.)
Your only power is local unless you're willing to commit a dramatic act of vigilantism.
You may wish there were a third track, but taking your hand off the lever gives up power.
Saying it doesn't matter is a naive position of privilege. Of course it matters. This is a "they're no different" argument that is just so obviously a false equivalence.
You're saying that voters should have no power and have to accept whatever the Democrats nominate. You don't seem to understand what power is.
