    Where is your red line personally? How bad would a Democrat have to be before you would refuse to vote for them? Would you vote for a Democrat that was promising to exterminate 10 million Americans, if their Republican opponent was promising to exterminate 20 million Americans?

    Where exactly is your red line, or do you simply not have one?

      Turn it around.

      You didn’t vote for the Dems, and now Trump is talking about a war with Denmark.

      How fascist did Trump have to be before you’d ally with anyone to defeat him?

        I did sell my soul and vote for Kamala. And what did it get me? In response, the Democrats voted for the first anti-LGBT hate bill in 30 years.

        I voted for Kamala, but I also despise this cult-like idea of blind faith in the Democrats and the absolute refusal to hold them accountable for anything.

        And your question is simply nonsensical. Just completely nonsensical. Progressives voted for plenty of people to defeat Trump. Millions of people voted for their own Democratic Congress members but then didn’t cast a vote for Kamala. She vastly underperformed Congressional Democrats.

          Anyone who didn’t vote for Kamala because she wasn’t progressive enough got played for a fool.

          Kamala lost and now Trump is talking about completely clearing out Gaza.

      If voting for -10m vs -20m would net -10m? For fucks sake yes. By not voting for the lesser we have gained the greater of evils, so hey yay shit didn’t change for any better! Fuck all protest votes when it’s goddamn black and white worse.

        And you don’t see the problem with that? You would vote for Mussolini over Hitler. That is simply downright demonic.

          It’s only “demonic” if voting is the only action you take to flight fascism. The reason to vote for the lesser evil, IMHO, is that the less evil option tends to be easier to fight.
