Comment on Should this be the year we finally try voting for other candidates?
K1nsey6@lemmy.world 1 day agoWe know the line, most important election. Yada yada yada. I’ve been hearing that every election for the last 38 years since I can vote. If Democrats would stop voting for what they thought was the lesser evil things wouldn’t keep getting worse

If you could get every Democratic voter to collectively agree to that, yeah, sure.
Do you have an actionable plan to get 80 million voters to suddenly vote differently? Because if not, that’s kind of a useless hypothetical.

Seeing that they have tried the same failed approach for decades, they’re not going to change. They’ll just bitch about the system as it is while refusing to acknowledge their participation in it

So then you admit that it’s a useless hypothetical, and your proposed strategy doesn’t actually accomplish anything except splitting the vote to let the far right win more?

Splitting the vote is liberal fantasy based on the idea if 3rd parties didn’t exist or there were none to vote for we would vote for your candidates.
Rest assured we would not. They either need to earn our vote or they can fuck off.
