At "best" they are an accelerationist, seeing Trump as a useful idiot to burn it all down, and then they can swoop in and "save" us. At worse, you've reached the Kremlin Election Emergency Hotline...
I'd vote for kamala, thank god i'm not a USer. I'm just saying that the only way someone like trump can get there is when progressives stop being progressive, when democratic politicians are not pressured in pushing the overton window left, then inevitably fascists will throw it to the right. Your shitty attitude is part of the problem and your refusal to even entertain any thought outside the voting binary shows how much of a tool you are
Glad you're not live from Moscow! But I didn't make it a binary choice. The stupid fucking GOP did by nominating the Orange Shitstain of a fascist. Never Trump conservatives will be a huge part of Harris being elected. So let us get this election out of the way, get the shitstain incarcerated, and then we can keep pushing the agenda left. For the most part I agree with you, and voted 3rd party pretty consistently up to 2016.
The problem is that everytime is "let's wait for the election then push them left" and it never works.
This is not the fault of voters or non voters, it's that American democracy is not a democracy, the parties never listen to the will of the people. And that's why voting ultimately doesn't change anything, because it's just a pretext to make you think you are making a difference. As important as it is to vote, that is how our leaders view it.
Maybe you were right. Fuck man. I don't know.
