    If liberals want our vote then they need to provide better options with candidates that will earn our vote, and not demand it. But the better option would be for liberals to abandon their party which keeps shifting further and further to the right and embraise other options

        So your solution is never hold them accountable for their actions despite it leading to the murder of brown people? Is that how it’s supposed to work?

          How is splitting the left-leaning voting bloc and allowing a more unified group of fascist to roll into power going to hold anyone accountable? Making it so one set of politicians don’t get what the jobs they want isn’t holding the warmongers among them accountable in any meaningful sense.

            The liberal myth of splitting the vote is exactly that a myth. even if there were no 3rd party candidates on the ballot, we would not vote for your piece of shit fascists.

            Democrat voters may be left leaning, but the politicians that they’re supporting or not.

      You sound a lot like the German communists in 1932, refusing to support the liberals even though they had more seats in the Reichstag than the conservatives or the fascists. How did that work out for them?

        It was the liberals electing someone that capitulated to Hitler that was the problem. How did that work out for them?

          The liberals did not elect Hitler. The conservatives did. The liberals failed to form a government because the next 3 largest parties, the conservatives, fascists, and the communists, refused to form a coalition with them.

          Then the opportunity arrose for the next largest party, the conservatives, to form a government, and they did so with the fascists.

            Liberals elected Hindenburg, as the lesser evil, who gave us Hitler.

            The lesson here is there is no such thing as a lesser evil, only evil
