Well know who to blame when trump light makes it in in 2028. It will all be on you. Could have stopped it and didn't will be carved on your tombstone.
ShredderrFeeder, I'm not voting for genociders of either party. I'll write in a third party name or leave my presidential vote blank. Its my vote, not yours, and I dont take criticism from people I dont respect. I dont respect people with your half assed helpless hostage logic. Feel free to cry or have a tantrum on the floor if it makes you feel better.
If you don't vote, you don't get a say. If you piss your vote away on someone who doesn't have a chance, you also don't get a say.
No crying, no tantrum. I am lucky in that I'm a middle-aged white-man so I likely won't have any issue survivng the next Trump..
But I feel sorry for the marginalized communities who WILL (and ARE) suffering.. They don't stand a chance if the republicans get another term..
Progressives very much have a say in whether the DNC centrists get elected or not. Did you notice that our support comes with real strings now? We have wised up to the idea that the centrists dont give a crap about anyone or anything but the donors. But by some miracle they still need progressive votes, and cant squirm out of that no matter how hard they try. So the centrists will treat us like partners or the country burns, thats the deal. Thats us having a say. You dont have to like it. And your little "oh no minorities will suffer" bit is rich. They were already suffering under Biden/Harris and the DNC ignored them. Their suffering is not some sort of future condition. Wake the eff up.
