    On the contrary, you missed the point. I do not set DNC policy, it does no good to tell me what they should be doing. If “making them lose” was going to affect their strategy, it would have worked in 2016.

    I am but a lowly voter, who has to live in this country. As a human being, there are many options available to me to try to effect change. As a voter, I am functionally limited to choosing between the two most popular candidates.

    Voting for the less fascist of the two is not what I want to be doing, but it is the most likely to support all the other non-electoral options available to my fellow humans, without sacrificing the vulnerable to the greater evil.

      “I don’t set DNC policy, I just blindly promote it no matter what.”

          Hi, yes, calling communists fascists is certainly a strategy that makes a lot of sense.

          I’d ask you to define both terms but I don’t want to cause you distress.

                    “Nuh uh”, truly the height of persuasive debate. Self-delusion isn’t fighting fascism. Voting stupidly doesn’t fight fascism, it supports it. If you promote that nonsense, then best case scenario you’re a fascist’s useful idiot.

      So in other words, you’re just trying to assuage your own guilt for being powerless in the face having to actually do something to change things.

        You’d have to have pretty abysmal reading comprehension to come to that conclusion. That couldn’t be farther from what I said. Try again, pay attention this time.
