I'm not opposed to it, but unless he (or others) can get a mass movement behind a third party candidate and we still don't have rank choice, I'm probably voting for the ticket that is least likely to give Republicans power.
So you're saying that a corporate Democrat is a spoiler candidate?
I am?
Those things will not happen so the only leverage you have against Democrats is demanding them to fulfill your demands in exchange for your vote.
Demanding things is not what is being discussed here. Actions with consequence are being discussed.
What is being discussed here is demands. The demand for Democrats to listen to their voters, or once again take a massive L because they prefer gobbling up their donors more than beating Republicans.
Hes not asking them to listen hes saying fuck off. The only question of relevance is will you vote for trump or against him in a first past the post election. Knowing you could have lessened damage and chose not to.
Trump will not even go to jail for pedophilia that's how shitty the USA is. If there was consequences Biden, Trump, Obama , Bush would all rot in pridon or being executed for war crimes
Im not talking about positive consequemces. Were so far from those right now. Im talking about minimizing and trying to stop the burning. Triage minimal sustainable checks and balances. Some form of turn from insanity. That is where we are rigbt now
