      Oh yeah we’d nevvvveer have a bunch of the “I used to be Democrat voter until event _____, now I’m all in Republican” people show up with their new attempted catchline. Noooo, would nevvvver happen. Not online.

        you haven’t encountered very many actual leftists, have you?

        edit: you’re a lot closer to being one of those republicans you hate so much than any leftist who wants to hold both of your war-mongering parties accountable for their role in a genocide btw

          Those are the choices though. Either at worse the status quo or the people who want it harder faster and to potentially bring it home. I would like to change joe biden’s mind, and take away funding for Israel’s death machine, so I’ll reach out to my reps, but I won’t sit out. Sitting out implies that the magnitude of this issue is unimportant. Only the issue itself.

            Those are only the choices if I assume moderates and liberals would rather lose to MAGA than make material compromises with leftists and progressives. I’ll be voting 3rd party in the hopes that they will realize they can’t win elections on their own and be more open to working together in the future.
