    I love how blue MAGA is simply incapable of comprehending why leftists don’t want to vote for a fascist-adjacent party that regularly marginalizes, victimizes, and takes advantage of its leftist coalition members.

    Their minds short circuit and it’s always Russian bots or fascist anti-fascists or something equally ridiculous.

    As the contradictions of the collapsing American empire grow too large to ignore, this behavior from the center will continue.

    To answer the point, yes I’d rather vote for Claudia than Harris. Because in your propagandized mind, a Republican victory is the worst case scenario.

    To leftists that have been paying attention to the DNC’s politics and how they serve the American empire, a DNC win is the “bad guys” winning. Just the same way a GOP win would be.

    In democracy-based forms of government, candidates need to earn votes. In fascist authoritarian governments, you owe the candidate your vote.

    Really weird how yall are projectin not understanding how government works, but I’m glad I could clear that up for you.

    It’s really a shame how every accusation from liberals is a confession. Oh damn, yet another time MAGA and blue MAGA held hands. I just keep running into that for some weird reason.

      In general, I agree that voting for a person isn’t going to bring about the change that I am sure we both wish to happen, but I would like to say that the choice for most blue MAGA people isn’t about that?

      The choice for them is voting or staying at home, as for them, a third-party vote is akin to picking the couch. For a lot of them, the mask-off MAGA movement restricting abortion and further eroding minority rights is still too much to bear to not vote blue. In general, most people on the left I talk to still vote in spite of the fascist-adjacent rhetoric.

      Yes, you’d be right to say that harm reduction is futile, and a line has to be drawn somewhere, but fuck me if I choose to live with the guilt of voting morally than picking the option I deem helpful to the most amount of people realistically.
