don’t vote for the best candidate.
vote for the one most likely to remove a republican.
it’s that simple.
Vote them out.
Vote for the candidate that sees every person as a human being.
not if they can’t win, buddy. i’m serious. LISTEN. VOTE OUT THE REPUBLICANS. EVEN IF THAT MEANS VOTING IN SOME REGULAR ASSHOLES.
if the candidate who sees every person as a human being is green party, then you vote for the democrat who sees every person as a stepping stone, because unless we get rid of the republican who sees every person as a target a lot of us are going to goddamn die. people are dying already. like, not to guilt you, but if we don’t get a democratic majority in the house and senate ASAP we’re screwed.
it doesn’t fucking matter if you voted for Jesus Actual Christ if he was running on a penny ante party ticket. we need you to vote for Joe Slick Bastard Democrat instead, because there is no such thing as a green party majority in the senate, do you understand? there will not be a green party speaker of the house. green party will not get to put up supreme court nominees.
if you vote for the Good People instead of the democrats, we’re gonna end up back in this toilet bowl again, only deeper this time because the republicans will take it as a mandate to do whatever they want.
take a deep breath, put on rubber gloves, and touch the poop. don’t be precious.
In the primary you vote for the best candidate. In the general you vote for the person who can remove the Republican. You have your chance to do both.

I read on another post “this is about setting the difficulty of our boss battle for the next two years” and that is absolutely true. You’re not voting for someone you agree with, you’re not voting for someone who is perfect or great or even good.
You are voting for the person who is a) going to get elected and b) is easiest to fight for what you need. Until we move the needle, the best we can expect is ‘the best of all enemies’ and not ‘an ally’.

This sucks, but it is damage control time. Fixing this shit happens after we stomp out the fire.
Worth mentioning that “voting for the lesser of two evils” is not only for times as desperate as these. That’s for all the time. In fact, NOT doing that because of some kind of bullshit feel good principles is part of what got us into this mess.
For fuck’s sake! YES, YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS. Because you know what happens when you bail on your civic responsibility to assuage your personal feelings?? THE GREATER OF THE TWO EVILS FUCKING WINS. And tbh if that’s you, I hope you fucking choke on your principles while I and millions like me are losing access to desperately needed healthcare.
And that’s just for starters. That’s not even touching on the CONSPIRACY and TREASON and FUCKING WAR CRIMES that we are currently dealing with and that will only get worse in the next two years if we don’t fucking do something about it.
listen.
