    I don’t follow.

    If everyone voted and the dems had a very clear majority that would make a very real difference in terms of the way the country is going.

    If progressives like your good self withhold their vote in protest, the best we will get is the dems just barely getting up - the shitty status quo we have presently.

        You have a habit of speaking in metaphors, but none are really analogous.

        if I had these three resumes in front of me, my conclusion is that they all will make things worse, so I would not hire any of them

        If you don’t choose the best, someone else is going to hire the worst on your behalf and you’ll be stuck with them.

        the ship is going down so I truly no longer care who captains it, I’m busy looking for a liferaft

        Voting will not distract you from looking for a life-raft, the right captain will not murder the other passengers, and there’s no life-raft anyway.

        We’ve been told that all our lives,

        Not evidence that its not true.

        look at the current dems, they aren’t going to fix anything.

        Precisely because they don’t have enough votes to fix anything, because voters are lost to this “both sides are just as bad” narrative from the conservatives.

            You keep saying you’ve heard my arguments before, but don’t seem able to directly rebut them?

            Just because you’ve been told something many times does not make it untrue.

            Voting for the best option even though it’s not perfect, is not how we ended up here.

            We ended up here because people don’t vote. As I’ve said many times (and you haven’t responded) conservatives don’t want you to vote. They want you feeling despondent and defeated and apathetic as you do.

            You don’t need to “vote harder”, you just need to vote.
