When you say, “They’re fucking dumb”, it feels like you have no interest in understanding or changing why people make “less than optimal choices”. The thing I don’t endorse is disengaging from politics. I would like more people to be more active in politics because I believe in people power.
I 100% agree with you that people should be more active in politics and trying to change things for the future, but lesser evil politics is a very big reason we are in this mess right now. Because the Democratic Party has constantly been offering garbage options, people have decided to disengage from politics. People would rather jump off a burning building than die to the flames.
You’ll never negotiate that point here. You’ll get downvoted to oblivion instead. All sides that aren’t a new candidate are just equal and the same and there’s no nuance because otherwise you couldn’t just sit on your couch and doom comment. You’d be have to be accountable for doing literally nothing and waiting for someone else to bring you a candidate.
It’s ELecTorALisM to point out the practical reality of the situation and generally speaking you just catch a ban. Double true in the next 12 hours when the other hemisphere provides its vast expertise on the 2 party system.
Sure, but if you don’t endorse it, why entertain the idea that it’s wrong to point it out? (not saying you do, but that’s the OP)
Voting for the lesser evil and working for a better choice should be the way

My point is that disengaging from voting is dumb
The Democratic party isn’t something that shines down frombthe skies. It’s the result of good people sitting on their asses and not changing it
I think ‘jumping off a burning building’ is a horrible analogy

That’s the lazy entitlement you’re dealing with.
Fun times.
