Voting blue no matter who turned out to not be a good strategy.

It’s funny how you relabel harm-reduction in voting, and imply the alternative wouldn’t have been far worse. It’s an art.

It’s harm reduction to vote for someone who just lets fascists implement their policies, anyways?

  Yes because they’re quieter and the white cis middle class liberals can all pretend everything’s okay. The gay ones too, until recently.
  
  Harm reduced.

The larger problem is that the Democrats are worthless and unpopular by design. So they are incapable of defeating the Republican. There is no alternate vision, they are playing defenseon what the Republicans do.

So while it might be better than the alternative, the alternative is inevitably going to happen because they suck.

  Exactly! Alternate visions are not welcome in politics.

  A vote for a democrat is at best toilet paper.

Nothing makes me more hostile to the idea of voting blue than this fractally abusive rhetoric. If you’re a RNC operative, you are a very very good one.
