What you do is you vote for the lesser evil for president now, and then you vote for people who are actually good in local races in hopes of building a base of support for better presidential choices (and replacing first-past-the-post) later. At least, that's what you do if you're actually operating in good faith and aren't a pro-fascist troll.
Now quit whining about it, 'cause that doesn't actually do any fucking good.
"If you're lucky, in four years... Well maybe 8.... we can have a candidate that doesn't bomb kids, as a treat. But only if you fall in line now and stop reminding us that voting for the lesser evil is still voting for evil."
The next candidate will be basically the same and you know it. The DNC have no incentive to change anything and people say this bullshit about "voting centrist Dem now and build local support for a good candidate later" all the time and it never happens. That's what they said last time and look where we are again.
Yes vote for Harris. NO to "if you don't like my shitty candidate you must secretly be a fascist"
I don't give a flying fuck about your idealistic bullshit. Trump is an existential threat and we do not have the luxury of voting third party. That's factual reality; fucking deal with it.
Try to read to the end bro
