I know it’s unpopular to withhold my vote from Democrats, but that’s my line and I’ll stick to it.

      If we push on this early enough, we can get better candidates and/or policies.

        Can’t get better candidates if you don’t vote for the better of the two.

        Stepping out and allowing the worst to win is a race to the bottom.

        How’s that been working so far?

        The American left has been refusing to vote for Democrats because they are not left enough since 1972, roughly speaking. Has it pulled the Democrats to the left yet?
