Here's the thing: He's way better than any plausible Republican. Work to get somebody better in the primaries, but vote for him in the general.
Better for whom?
He probably is better for me, and for you, and for most of the folks in this comment section. But one thing the debacle of 2024 taught me is the "better" is relative, and there are a lot of folks who are going to die of a lack of healthcare under both candidates, or lose family members to US weapons under both candidates.
Better for me? Sure. But I'm through bullying and blaming the victims of an abusive relationship.
Fuck voting blue no matter who. Vote for who earns your vote. The bar is as low as it can get for Democrats at this point.
Still not good enough. I'm tired of these liberals always backstabbing. I've been fooled by them for my whole life and I refuse to get fooled again. I'd rather not vote than get fucked over by my supposed allies.
If I lived in a congressional district gerrymandered to be under Republican control, I'd vote for the less bad Republican in their primaries. Its a question of doing the best that you can, rather than waiting for the unattainable perfect candidate who agrees with you 100% on everything
