Those of us that voted for Nader and Stein never would have voted for your shitty candidates. To begin with, your entire premise is based on the liberal 'spoiler vote' which is 100% myth. There could be zero third party candidates on the ballot and we still would not vote for a republican or a Democrat because we are not Republicans or Democrats.
Based on Republicans passing over 500 anti-trans bills the last several years and Democrats haven't done shit except talk about it. Democrat version of protecting their rights is telling them they're free to use whatever restroom they want, while ignoring that they don't have access to affordable Health Care or housing and may live in abject poverty while using that preferred restroom.
I'm betting everyone of those down votes was given by someone saying we need to protect democracy by supporting the party suing to keep people off ballots.
Democrats clearly dont give a fuck about their concerns, so they should abandon the party. If the DNC wants to openly cater to right wing voters then any left leaning voters should abandon them as well.
Those of us on the left do not vote for Democrats because we are NOT Democrats.
it's better to shut up than to alienate a lot of voters
If they won't stand up and do what's right in the face of opposition they are not worthy of being elected. Mentioning the marginalized when it's politically convenient is self serving, and not worthy of being elected.
Many of those that chose not to vote are disenfranchised voters that do not feel represented in government, and rightfully so. Many of our lives do not fundamentally change for the better regardless which shade of fascism runs the government.
Liberals talk about building coalitions, which translates to 'do it our way otherwise you want the other team to win.' They want zero input from the marginalized groups they help keep marginalized, they do not listen to our needs.
Claiming that you want all the same things other people want is disingenuous when you demand we support the people fighting those changes.
Somehow voters trust a party that's lied for 50 years to protect women's rights? How many times does someone need to be lied to for them to call out being lied to?
The DNC has zero interest in reforming systems that work to their advantage. If given a true choice in electoral politics no one in their right mind would support Democrats or Republicans.
The only people ever afforded a seat at the table are the moneyed class. And Democrats do need to be put under a microscope because they're the ones that pretend to be allies to the marginalized, While they Co opt our languages to use against us when we decide to not vote for them because they stabbed us in the back. Republicans wear their racism and their bigotry on their shoulders for all to see. For Democrats, it's covert.
Continuing to vote for the duopoly, for the red fascist or the blue fascist, gets you the absolute worst outcome.
