I’m not trying to force anyone to even think a particular way, let alone DO something. But when the choice is the person who literally wants you dead vs someone who’s willing to maybe marginalize you in the current political environment, I would mildly urge you to maybe kindly vote against the guy with a gun to your head who will pull the trigger when he wins. Just sayin’. Maybe focus on the marginalization issue next season before it gets to the gun to the head again. “FUCK YOU KILL ME” isn’t really the best choice in my humble opinion.
But if the guy that hates trans and homeless people becomes president do you really think that the Dems would ever again platform someone that doesn’t want a genocide in their own country? And why do people have to support the piece of shit before he gets legitimised in any way through a primary anyways?
I’m pretty sure in 2024 the Dems platformed someone who didn’t want a genocide in this country. Mamdani seems like a pretty good dude, and he’s in the general because he won the primary over said piece of shit. So the system can work. Or we can all be pessimists and let the fascists continue to run roughshod because the Democrats aren’t woke enough or whatever.
Do you mean the same Mamdani that gets hindered by establishment Dems at every chance possible? The Democrats want to maintain the economic status quo, the only time the party shows socially progressive views is when they think it profits them.

As I said.
Mamdani won the primary. He’s polling ridiculously high in the general. Putting people like him, Crockett, Cortez, and others like them into office is how we push back and get the policies we want. MEANWHILE we need to elect whatever other blue options we’re provided in the general including the DINOs, not protest non-vote and hand power to the Repubnicons. 3rd party candidates are spoilers. Maybe in some future they won’t be, but right now they are. I don’t understand why this is contentious. If the enemy rules, we get NOTHING. Do you not see how the country is being dismantled as we speak? There will be no righteous revolution in this country. Democracy either survives or it dies, and if it dies, it’s 1984 x Handmaid’s Tale forever.
