This vote is far too important to protest vote. Especially now that I live in a swing state.
Voting for what you actually want to happen is literally the only way to communicate your needs to political parties that they actually listen to.
There are people whose whole education and job is just to know how many people in a given district that the party can pick up by adopting aspects of a particular platform.
Tell them! Tell them that you won’t vote for them unless they take up the antiwar, Medicare for all torch! Tell them that they can’t get your district without a housing guarantee and free school lunch! Tell them to stop the genocide in the only way they listen to!
It’s not a protest to use your vote.
And that's great, that's what I do in the primaries. I'm not about to risk a Trump presidency just to place a vote for a 3rd party that I probably also don't actually like. Just plug the nose and stop the larger threat.
Oh well, if you clearly communicate your needs during the primary and fall in line for the general then why wouldn’t the democrats reward your loyalty by adopting your positions!
How clear and transparent would the upcoming trump presidency have to be for you to jump ship from the democrats and take up a position that they have to aim for in 2028?
That's not called a protest vote. That's just called a vote.
Whatever helps you sleep at night if Trump gets elected.
Thats why Biden stepping down is so important right now. They need to get guys like this poster to vote D this time. Any generic dem with a pulse will do that.
Its the partys fault if they cant get an easy vote, not the voter's
Ultimately, yes that's the case. It's the candidates job to attract voters.
