Problem is that if you want to vote for the defense of democracy and progress and tolerance of it, there is nowhere to go. Because USA is realistically only a 2 party system.
Obviously I prefer Democrats over Republican insanity. It's just that in reality there is no real opposition to MAGA.
And yes it is very much also the fault of Democrats, for failing to modernize democracy in USA.
Democrats need to wake the fuck up, and skip a mentality where they push for an 80 year old President for Christ sake!!!
The problem is that people aren't able to think realistically and say shit like "Democrats need to go further left to win elections" even though anyone watching at all can see that the country is moving hard right and that strategy would've made them fail even harder
Not necessarily. There was a large pool of non-voters, if a lot of those were disillusioned leftists who didn't see anyone worth voting for then appealing to them might have been a winning strategy.
You say disillusioned leftists, I say accelerationist anti-moralists
It's interesting how the situation is always dire enough that leftists are expected to abandon all their principles and give their full throated support to the latest corrupt war criminal from the DNC, and yet it's never so dire that Democrats should be expected to actually try to court leftists, or even to stop relentlessly attacking them.
