Maybe she thought she could "fix" him. Still stupid

Well, that's good. Unfortunately lots of people don't vote in the primary, and then complain about their options in the general election.

I don't expect you to give a shit about my feelings. Was just hoping maybe you or someone reading this might come around to the idea that realistically, there are only two options outcomes, and we should avoid the fascistic one at all costs.

For the record, my feelings are that I'd really like to see younger people in office too, but I'm not gonna shoot myself (and the country) in the foot over it.

Falsely implying there has been no climate action, vehemently opposing their candidate over his age, and refusing to vote for them seems a bit aggro toward the party 🤷‍♂️

That's how our FPTP system works. Twist yourself into a pretzel all you want. The reality is, if you want to preserve a functioning democracy in this country and have even the slightest chance of improving it one day, you have only one real option (hint: it's not a third party and it's definitely not the orange fascist).

You, and everyone with your mindset, will have failed America.

Cool, do that in the next primary, but for now let's pick one of the real options on the table.

Um... Inflation Reduction Act?

I just think it's tremendously stupid to attack the Democratic party from the left and then cast a vote (or fail to vote altogether) that makes it more likely to end up with a Republican government that is even further right. Seriously. It's fucking braindead. Your options are mildly left, or far right. Far left ain't on the table. So pick the mildly left. Then in the next PRIMARY, vote far left (or young, whatever it is you want).

You're clinging to a pipe dream. People like you are how we end up with Trump.

That's how you piss away your vote and end up with a second Trump term...
