When your opponent is fascism:
YOU VOTE AGAINST FASCISM.
I thought he was smarter than this, but it seems purity tests don’t leave room for raging against machines.

if you don't vote straight blue you're part of the problem and can get fucked.
Bullshit!!!! He's been Fenders fuck boy, for like 2 decades. He could not be any more corporate.
He's got enough money so he can afford to vote HOW he wants to because no matter HOW he votes, he's pretty sure he can beat the game and still come out on top.
I'll probably get downvoted to hell for saying this, but whatever, it needs to be said. It's just unbearable listening to how all of you defend voting for people you hate and doing nothing about it.
Here's the truth: if you have one party that's neo-fascist, and another party that does nothing, then in reality, your country is a one-party neo-fascist state.
What you need to do about it is fixed the root cause. Throw your constitution in the trash and write a new one that guarantees proportional representation. Sure, PR isn't perfect, but it's better than a single party state.
No, voting in primaries isn't going to fix the problem. Maybe you get a small handful of 10 politicians around the country that make you feel good about yourselves, but there are still thousands more standing in their way preventing any real progress. What have Bernie Sanders or AOC really achieved? Nothing, because there's 500 other people in Congress. What has Mamdani done for more than the tiny fraction of Americans living in NYC? Nothing, because a mayor in NYC is can't do shit for the 90% of people who live in other parts of the country.
Do whatever you want, vote however you want, but real change won't come until you throw out that stinking piece of trash constitution you have and write one that makes the USA a real democracy. Shout it out as loud as you can, because until then, nothing meaningful is ever going to change.
P.S. It's not that people aren't aware of the shitty system, it's the fact that absolutely nobody is talking about the real problem, and there's no movement whatsoever to fix it. Even Canadians are pushing desperately for PR and getting nowhere, but the USA is even more silent about it, and it's fucking infuriating.

I know it's unpopular this month, but fuck Macklemore for not doing and saying as this man does.
In good weather, vote for the good people.
In the heart of the storm, when the volcano threatens to end humanity, and the plague is ravaging the people, vote for the goddamn candidate that didn't RAPE CHILDREN and the candidate with the best chance of winning against the guy who wants to (and fully has successfully) protected his other child rapist friends.
It's not rocket science.
Oh, and the guy who owns the most successful rocket scientists was hired by the rapist, and that guy did a fucking Nazi salute at his inauguration.
But let's all celebrate Macklemore for... ::Checks notes:: opposing genocide? Really? The bar is that low? Fucking hell...
