It doesn't. Thats what makes Kamala the lesser of two *evils* not a good. Kampala would've absolutely supplied Israel, same as Trump, and that is horrific

I hear what you're saying to, but doesn't the victory of Mamdani *show* that it's still a democracy? Even with all the interference between the Reps and Dems to stop him, the people still showed up, and he still won. Stuff like that gives me hope that it can happen around the nation. We just gotta

them a lost cause, and they try and take votes from the right. That's how it works. Again, we need to get them out of power by exercising our right to vote for progressive candidates, such that *they* have the power within the party. Otherwise, short of a revolution (not viable) nothing will change

They don't change by being denied power. They lost the 2024 election and blamed "the radical left" and made it a policy to shift further to the right. They. Don't. Listen. To. Not. Receiving. Votes. That's not what they do, they never have, and they never will. They consider those who don't vote for

No dude, that's what the thread was about. Yes I assume people responding to the thread about not voting for a presidential candidate, on the side of the people advocating for not voting, are themselves not voting

coming, and withholding your vote is silencing your only means to actually try and affect change. It is not protest, it will do nothing

have been! In my area, Katie Wilson run a close campaign against the incumbent mayor who was a corporate dem hack, and she won! Seattle will be all the better for it, and we need to support Wilson's and Mamdani's all throughout the country. We need these people in places of power. A revolution isn't

international tensions, and supporting fascism abroad. Yes the Dems have tons of power to stamp out dissent, but it doesn't always work, as Mamdani has shown. And as Mamdani has shown, the people have a hungering for actual socialist policies, and local mayors can take advantage of that, and they

I hear you, but again, in the meantime while you withhold your vote in the hopes that the Dems will listen (they won't they *always* shift further right) people suffer. The Reps drain public institutions, deny education, and further impoverish the average person, all the while increasing

No she would not have. But if more people who thought like you did, maybe she would have

What "crazy hypothetical scenario" are you talking about? Trumps administration is very real, very present, and very dangerous. And I *am* anger at the Dems. Most of them sitting in Congress are worthless sacks of shit who sit by and let Fascists take over the country

Couped from their own party. They need to be voted out and replaced with actual leftists, under the name of Democrat

I hear you, and the cycle does need to be broken. I dont support Blue mo matter who, but I do support choosing the candidate who does the least harm while we work on getting far left candidates into positions of power. The Dems won't change, the Trumps second term has shown this. They need to be

*Every* vote matters. This is still a democracy and by not voting you don't protest- you throw away your voice. You silence yourself. We need to be supporting our grassroots efforts to get people into local and then federal positions. In the meantime we need to make those in office do the least harm

"They must be forced to field acceptable candidates" buddy, who suffers in the meanwhile? Are you seriously arguing it was better not to vote, than to vote for Kamala? Has this year under Trump not shown us the damage they do? The solution is to get our own candidates in, not force this duality
