    I follow one rule - vote the furthest ‘left’ in every election, but VOTE.

    Last thing I’m going to do is stay home and allow the fascists another 4 years to destroy this fucking country.

      True, but this far before the election there should still be momentum for someone further to the left than Newsom.

      Another four years of a centrist Democrat is just stalling for four years before the Heritage Foundation manages to install another Republican on the backs of American transphobes and racists to push the country even further away from where it needs to be.

        My hope is that 4 more years of a centrist in the White house will give the far left a chance to make their case… Mamdani is a great example of that case… Steady progress is going to win…

        As I’ve said before, were a center-left country. Regardless of what’s best, that’s the best we’re going to do until people get educated on the subject…

        SO show up and vote in the primaries I will too. but if your guy doesn’t win, don’t accelerate the fascist victories by getting your panties in a bunch and staying home.

            Hey I’m excited about the state of Democratic socialists winning. If one shows up on the general ballot in Virginia I’ll gladly vote for them.

            But if I have to choose between a centrist and someone like trump, I’m gonna choose the centrist every time. Sometimes the lesser of two evils is quite a lot less fucking evil apparently.

        Nope. I vote in every single election. There may not be someone I want to vote fore, but there is always someone I want to vote against.

        Every. Single. Election.

        Since 1988. I’ve never missed one.
