I used to campaign and donate and vote every cycle, but 2020 made it abundantly apparent that the democratic party isn't actually a democratic institution. Why would I lift a finger to support a candidate ordained behind closed doors by Barrack Obama and Neera Tanden for the interests of the corporate backers of this shitty party that's been facilitating the neoliberal agenda of the right for my entire life? The DNC hates the left and I've discovered enough self-respect to hate them back now.
Cool, I’m sure a second Trump presidency will do way more for you, so enjoy that.
If the people yelling at random voters on the internet spent the same amount of energy yelling at the DNC about being unappealing to voters it would probably have more impact.
I’m not an American. I don’t live in the US.
I can’t control who the DNC put forward as a candidate.
All I can do is go on the internet and tell Americans “when the choice is The Fascist or The Other One”, don’t vote for the fascist. Don’t take votes away from the one who’s not a fascist that could win, either by voting third party or by not voting.
Why do I care? Because the president of the US has a disproportionate amount of influence over the rest of the world. Leaving NATO, selling Ukraine down the river, appeasing Putin, none of this makes the rest of us safer.
So go and vote.
You should stamp your feet. If nothing else it will undoubtedly make you feel better.
