But we gotta focus on the here and how, which is a party of obstructionists at best, and literal Nazis at worst; vs a party of science and rights at best, and kinda toothless / often uninspiring at worst. Voting for anything else, or choosing not to vote at all, is still accepting that one of the aforementioned two will win; you’re just silencing your own voice and letting your countrymen decide on your behalf.
…and when enough people do the same, that’s a great way to end up with fucking Nazis.
