So it is worth letting the bad things happen now because they probably would have happened anyway a decade from now? And winning an election against the republicans would have convinced democrats to adopt the republican mindset, which won’t happen after that mindset is proven to win elections?

I can name a few vulnerable minorities that have been abandoned by people who allowed republicans to take power, can you name any the democrats abandoned?

“Don’t vote until they learn how important we are” is how you join the third+ of the country that doesn’t vote and is therefore ignored by politicians.

I don’t think people are saying you personally are a bot, but you’re falling for narratives pushed by bots. By allowing republicans to win this past election, infinitely more harm has been caused than even most people’s worst predictions and absolutely zero harm has been prevented. USAID is gone which will lead to millions of deaths abroad, crackpots like RFK Jr have been legitimized causing deaths to diseases which were effectively eliminated, disaster relief is being denied to blue states, and of course Israel has more freedom than ever before to do whatever they want to the Palestinian people.

Has any harm been reduced by allowing the republican party to have power? Can you acknowledge the harm that has already been caused by allowing them to have power?

I would still rather vote for a party that doesn’t mind republicans, over the republicans themselves. Luckily I don’t have to make that choice because even if the democratic party doesn’t care about a single thing they say I’m pretty sure they do mind what affects them personally, like getting investigated for made up charges and having their security details taken away. The republican party clearly does mind the democratic party considering how hard they lean into voter suppression and pushing the ‘both sides are the same’ lie every election cycle.

If voting for democrats means I don’t mind a republican president, where does that put people who won’t vote against republicans?
