If you feel like your vote is useless because both choices are not even remotely close to even the same ballpark of the same level of bad but Biden’s still pretty far from what you want, consider joining Bernie Sanders’s activist organization, instead of trying to bring Trump to power through inaction while cloaking yourself in a tissue-thin veneer of bullshit to justify your Trump-enablement as a good thing somehow.
Dawg I’m not trying to bring Trump to power. I’m trying to send a message that we’re not going to keep playing the game of the two parties putting forth their worst candidates and that if they’re not going to represent us, we can and will replace them.
I’m more interested in the long-term game of breaking down the two-party dichotomy (though this doesn’t directly do that) and all the political hatred it has enabled for many years which is only getting worse as time goes on. I consider this a higher priority than the short-term risk of Trump maybe getting into office for a single term more if there are more liberals that hold this sentiment than conservatives.
Also for the record, when I said “because both choices are near the same level of bad,” I was addressing the sentiment in the literature being tweeted about, not how I actually feel. Of course Biden is significantly less bad than Trump.

Replacing the Democrats with a further-left party sounds like a great idea. Pressuring the Democrats to move to the left sounds like a great idea.
Failing to elect the Democratic nominee in the upcoming election will absolutely guarantee that both of those will become almost impossible for quite some time. If you didn’t like that Bernie Sanders got cheated out of the nomination, I bet you’ll be significantly more unhappy once he or anyone like him can get thrown in prison or shot in the head.
I’m not a lefty. Moving the Democrats further left is not my goal. In fact, unless the Republicans are moving left with them, it’s against my goal. I don’t want to get my favorite policies in office, I want people to stop hating on each other so extremely just because they don’t sit on the same side of the fence. The two-party system has made this far too convenient for far too long.
This is the most white feminist take. Look up the word intersectional. Who are you willing to throw into the wood chipper in the name of harm reduction next?

I don’t hate Republicans because they’re on the other side of the fence.
I hate them because they’re trying to kill some of my friends and family.
If Republicans gain control of the federal government again, people I know will die.
This is the most cishetwhiteman take, look up project 2025, and go fuck yourself.
Where’d you get cishetwhiteman from?
