    Then the Democrats will have no choice but to actually change something to get elected. Rewarding bad (see “Nazi style genocide”) behavior is what actually puts you farther away from ranked choice.

    Why is everyone always pretending that every American election will be the last one ever and the entire world is going to end if their party doesn’t win.

        They literally (not figuratively, literally) said this shit in 2016. It was all Joever back then. But lo and behold, even the Republicans didn’t get in line for their god emperor Trump to hand over all power. On the 6th of January all Trump had was a bunch of Facebook looneys backing him up.

        July 19, 2016 If Trump wins, a coup isn’t impossible here in the U.S.

      So the Republican party doesn’t endorse “Nazi style genocide”? Because if the Democrats do, they sure as fuck do. Why reward the Republicans?

          Which functionally helps Republicans get elected. You solution is to put Republicans in power hoping they destroy enough that we have to start from scratch.

          What we should be doing is primarying the fuck out of every conservative Democrat in the caucus and pushing the party left while maintaining a firewall against the GOP. Not sacrificing minorities, women, immigrants, and poor people to GOP rule to prove a point.

            Doesn’t matter they both commit genocide.

            If you can vote for two Nazis or someone else that isn’t a Nazi you don’t vote for the Nazi you like most because then he will win. You vote for the person that isn’t a Nazi.

              And if you do this knowing your choice to vote for the person who never had a chance to win but isn’t a Nazi results in the worse of the two Nazis getting elected, I think you’ve made a poor moral judgement AND a poor strategic one. You’re helping the people who most want to harm you and allowing a significant amount of pain and suffering to happen to innocent people.

              You can call joe biden a genocidal monster all you want but at the end of the day, Trump is going to hurt a lot of people that Joe Biden won’t. He’s going to cause more damage to the country than Joe Biden ever could and it won’t be in ways that promote the positive change we both want. This is the literal definition of cutting off your nose to spite your face.

                I can’t rationalize voting for genocide. I haven’t voted for a Democrat for president since 2008.

                And more excuses to advocate for genocide. Even the Nazi’s weren’t this much in denial. A vote for Biden or Trump directly condones and support genocide. It is a direct action that shows that you voluntarily condone and support it. If you do not vote, or vote third party, you are not complicit in genocide. But if you vote for Biden or Trump then you do.

      You talk like someone unaware of any elections since Biden.

      The Democrats have lost plenty of presidential and Congressional elections. What have they changed? When have they had a “come to Jesus moment?” I can’t think of any example since the southern strategy mixed up the parties. A little shift here or there but at their core they are rich, white neo-liberals.
