    not voting for democrats makes it likelier for republicans to win, thus moving the overton window even farther right. Your frustration should be with people who think voting is the only action you can take, not with people who use voting as one of many actions that should be taken.

      You need to internalize the fact that young and leftist votes did not meaningfully impact the election.

      If you want to attack the people who voted for Biden but stayed home for Kamala, those were white boomer/millennial men/women and boomer/millennial hispanic men.

        Because they don’t vote meaningfully, yeah. That’s the point. I dunno where this strawman defector angle comes from.

        The much bigger issue is the people who aren’t voting at all, or casting a performative 3rd party vote in districts where it accomplishes nothing.
