How do you ever expect to get out of having a lesser or more evil option if people keep supporting the right wing Democratic party. At some point things have to change, and voting blue no matter who won't achieve that.

Sure. First get us a majority in both houses, then we can talk about meaningful policy change. Until then it's just virtue signaling. People keep expecting miracles to happen when they won't even do the bare minimum to show up to polls and local elections. It's so stupid.

People don't vote when they don't feel represented. Kind of weird to vote first and hope for policy after.

I wonder if people don't feel represented because incremental change is not sexy or exciting. Policy takes time, the Revolution is more interesting to talk about. I don't know. It seems people have weird conceptions about how politics works.

Democrats consistently support ranked choice voting, Republicans consistently ban & overturn RCV. If you want rights, vote for Dems. It really is that simple
