"We recognize that, in the next four years, our decision may cause us to have an even more difficult time. But we believe that this will give us a chance to recalibrate, and the Democrats will have to consider whether they want our votes or not."

That's gotta be one of the strangest reasonings I've heard in a while.

Everyone saying "this is a vote for democracy" apparently doesn't see the irony in demanding everyone vote for a single candidate no matter what or democracy fails. Like isn't the whole point of democracy having the ability to pressure politicians to make concessions to your cause?

So many BlueAnon comments too. Yeah for sure this is just a massive Russian psyop, definitely not people trying to stop their ethnic group from being genocided 🙄

Bring on the downvotes.

If Trump gets into office, Democracy does fail.

If this were an election where the opposition was someone like Romney or McCain, sure. I would agree with you. But this is where the opposition wants to start a dynasty where here and his descendants are dictators for life.

And if you think genocide in Gaza is bad, just wait until Trump gets done with queer people and Latinos.

Or just wait until what kind of genocide happens when Trump is backing Bibi to the hilt.

Do people forget he moved the embassy to Jerusalem? Do they really think he wants a free Palestine?

Trump could back literal death camps in the West Bank and they'll say, "Well, at least I didn't vote for the lesser evil!"

Since you guys are so brain-broken by the status quo of American politics, let me break down the goal of these people.

  1. Threaten to not vote for party because they are doing bad thing

  2. Party sees significant numbers of people threatening not to vote for them.

  3. Party changes it's policies.

  4. People vote for party.

It's like you're completely incapable not thinking in black-and-white, and don't understand it's actually possible to leverage politicians. No one wants Trump, and if he wins no one is to blame but the Democrats.
