As a permanent resident who cannot vote but pays 6 figures in taxes. VOTE. Some of us aren’t so lucky

At some point the left needs to realize that sitting out voting doesn’t work. Yes the candidate sucks from your political stance but they are better than the alternative and it gives a platform from which to push left. This has been the playbook of the right for decades and is why they have been so successful in shifting the Overton window. They vote in any circumstance even if the candidate isn’t as right leaning as they would prefer but to them at least it’s not a dem.
Edit: to be clear I’m all for taxing billionaires and corporations far more.
There’s a ton of precedent. Welfare for the rich is justified all the time while those who truly need it are less and less
I’m not agreeing with it but if it were socialism we would at least have public ownership of the bailed out company. Any bailout would just be corporate welfare with little return
Which is the sickening point
As bad as this is, and it is bad, we only need to look at Alex Jones and his open acceptance of Fuentes to see that it’s over for the Heritage Foundation. Nick worms his way into favor and now any view left of full out Nazi is too liberal. They have sealed their own fate allowing this Nazi into the fold.
So you’re ok with Trump. Got it. How’s his stance on Trans people?
