    Wrong. We have leverage in the local party board voting. We have leverage in the local municipal elections. We have leverage in state legislature and governor elections. We have leverage in the primaries.

    Once the primaries are over, we have no leverage and we should do all we can to prevent the fascists from winning at all costs.

      agree, we can’t let fascism win at any cost. even at the cost of an election that requires unconditional support from its voters for a genocide.

                    Well, for one thing, my Mexican, gay and trans friends don’t have to be worried that they’ll be rounded up and deported or worse.

                    Of course it’s not ideal. But we have to play the hand we’re dealt. And we were dealt a two party system.

                    And until you’re ready to go up against tanks and fighter jets and bunker busters and knife missiles, I don’t see how you guys can just sit there and complain. Start your revolution already, if you think you can win.

                    Or just fucking vote, you goddamned babies!
