          That’s literally what voting for the lesser of two evils does.

          If you want to start moving to the left, you need to vote for a left wing party.

            If you say that as a US resident, you either don’t understand how our electoral system works, or you’re trying to push some fifth column bullshit.

              Your electoral system will not magically change and improve.

              Please by all means keep doing the same thing you’ve always done, it’s not like America is one of the most right wing countries in the world and shifts further right each year regardless of who is in charge.

            Please name a left leaning party in the US that has a realistic chance of beating Trump and I’ll vote for them

      True but it is sad that the only left leaning party (that can get elected at least) still has members and a president ok with what they are seeing.

      For sure better than literal Nazis but we need to do better.

      Maybe, but that argument is getting harder and harder for neoliberals to make as the DNC continues trying to court the far-right on things like immigration, genocide and corporate welfare. They’ve done such an incompetent job of protecting our most basic freedoms from fascists that it makes it hard to claim they aren’t complicit.

      What good is there to voting blue when they, in turn, actually do support fascism? which is exactly what they did here
