5 Reasons I left the Democratic party: 1. @JoeBiden 2. @SpeakerPelosi 3. They refuse to support #MedicareForAll despite the fact that 88% of Democratic voters do. 4. They are NOT β€œfor the people.” They are for their corporate donors. 5. The β€œlesser of 2 evils” is still EVIL.

I think some people don't understand that if you keep voting for the lesser evil, you end up with a Trump like figure.

It's quite the opposite. If more people had voted for the lesser of two evils last time, Trump would never have become president.

There is no "if" -there is what is, and lesser evilism brought us Trump, and will eventually a theocracy.

And standstill *is* better than taking a bunch of steps backwards as we do when the Republicans are in power. Now, to get from standstill to forwards, we need many strong progressives in office, which I don't have to explain to you, you know this. πŸ˜‰

This is the take of a rich person who will be fine either way. You don't live in the real world, and yet you feel qualified to lecture regular people on how to use their vote.

After HRC's performance as SoS, just how much better would we be today? She made no secret of her opposition to M4A, her racism, her lack of judgment with Tim Kaine as her running mate. She loves war & money. Her emails showed her disdain for the people.
maybe people are sick of voting one way or another and always getting worsening material conditions in return? i don't blame anyone for voting the way they do or abstaining, we're all either fucked or more fucked regardless. why badger the people forced to make this choice?

That's a flawed statement. Trump had no policy experience, meanwhile Clinton had numerous instances of bad policy and failed leadership. Just as it is now, I think the illusion that Clinton has somehow a lesser evil isn't true.

If @HillaryClinton hadn’t run such an incompetent campaign Trump wouldn’t have become president. If the @DNC hadn’t rigged the primaries Trump wouldn’t have become president. At some point you need to understand that perhaps they wanted him to win.
If DNC hadn’t rigged the primary we wouldn’t be having this conversation now.
