Wow, maybe dont run pro-genocide candidates if you want your base to Vote for you? Or do you think the cult-like devotion of the republicans is a positive democrats should follow?
i hear that they tried to suppress it because they planned on trying the strategy again in 2028.
Then again what is the other Option? Not vote for either candidate like in 2024 and let Trump win?
I'm not a US citizen but I still act similar in my local elections - vote for the candidate that will do less evil when they're in office, if there is no better option. And I gotta hand it to the DNC they're really amazing at just cutting off their own legs. Because shooting themselves in the knee can't describe this.
You're the guy in the meme. So devoted to genocide that you can't imagine a better option.
Not devoted to genocide - but rather when wanting better candidate (a real socialist candidate that does not support the war machine) but instead getting a sock puppet I'd rather try to have the sock puppet instead of letting worse people win.
You have two years to get a candidate that doesn't support the genocide you totally aren't devoted to.
Try not to be the guy in the meme in your reply.
Insane levels of Stockholm syndrome on display. "It puts the genocide on the skin, or else it gets the Trump again."
What should the German people have done when Hitler rose to power? Knowing what we know now, what would have been the best "option" for them?
Im sorry but thats just a losing strategy, if you dont demand better, you will never get better as a choice
Or, just run a non-genocidal candidate. For God's sake, the election is years away, and you just take it as obvious that Democrats will choose a monster
you should always vote and only vote for the most progressive candidate available; do not settle for the lesser evil.
we've been voting for the lesser evil for decades and here we are w trump in the white house and so many liberals disaffected by the system that there aren't even enough 3rd party voters to make up for the difference.
