but what I am saying is that what you call “left” is just a different flavor of hard right
Do not put words in my mouth.
I said “further left”. Democrats are right of center, and still across the ocean from the far right that is the Trump admin.
Nothing will improve so long as you stay trapped, and encourage others to remain trapped, within that false dichotomy.
LOL.
Without RCV or other methods aside from FPTP, there are only two options in an election. Ignoring that is just a fools errand.
Remember this when you vote for Democratic nominee Liz Cheney in 2028.
Who would still be further left from trump. And given two options, yeah, she’d get the damn vote from me.
Your little protest vote or non-vote is just saying “Trump/Trump-a-like is totally fine by me”.
And then you end up with transgendered persons being considered terrorist cells.
But hey, at least it wasn’t a woman who once had a job where she had to file paperwork on behalf of another organization she had no control over but convinced to change their policy!
This is less about elections and more about messaging/propaganda. You are arguing that the only acceptable positions are far right ones.
Those positions you are supporting and telling others must support are unacceptable and get people killed.

Reality is not one dimensional like that. This is what I meant about false binaries. The Kamala vs Trump admin options were, respectively and oversimplified; law and order/old money far right vs megachurch grifter/new money far right.
There wasn’t a single actual leftist position that either actually held. We all rightfully mock anyone who fell for Trump’s “draining the swamp” bullshit. So how are you still in denial about Kamala’s “protecting trans and reproductive rights” when it’s the exact same playbook.

Where do you draw the line?
At the point you are happily voting and campaigning for christofascist arch-conservatives then the new monster the old right needs to replace Trump has to be worse in literally every way. It doesn’t end until anyone not wearing a Kapp is considered part of/aiding and abetting terrorist cells and is put to death for it.
Your vote for “slightly less fascism” doesn’t reduce harm, it’s the engine for magnifying and normalizing those harms.

Gotta be kidding me with this shit. Unbelievable.
