You should still vote for them, I guess, but they don’t even have a presidential candidate for the next election.
This purity testing between Democrats is so stupid. They fucking better give me a candidate, that doesn’t want to slaughter Palestinians. That shouldn’t be a controversial statement. If we signal to Democrats now, that we will vote for them no matter what stupid inhumane bullshit they do, then we are just gonna get another Biden that doesn’t do anything for 4 years and then loose to the stupidest Republican candidate imaginable.
It’s not like the Democrats do anything for transrights, Gavin Newsom literally said, that they were to supportive of Trans People and that’s why they lost the last election. Shure, their own research (that they tried to hide from the public) showed, that Kamela Harris’s position on Gaza lost them the election, but shure, let’s blame the minority group that is already heavily under attack.
I mean, shure in the short term, Gavin Newsom might be preferable to Trump, but he will be so bad, that everybody is gonna hate him after 4 years and people will just return to the Republicans. If we just continue to accept the Democrats bullshit, we are not doing anything for ourselves.
We need to do what the Republicans did. Start local and build. They corrupted everything from school boards to city mayors to local judges and used those pulpits to loudly push their agenda. Right now we don’t have much of a choice as far as national elections go, but if dems (actual social democrats and progressives) can achieve what the republicans did we’ll eventually get real change at the national level.
If the goal is to have a clean conscience in US politics, may as well not vote at all and just spend that time volunteering at your local food bank instead. At least that has more of a net positive to society than political virtue signalling.
I say this as someone who once voted Green in an election, because I was a dumb kid who thought a protest vote would ever accomplish something. First past the post needs to go before our third party dreams can be more than just memes.
And we should condemn them deeply for it.
