    Nope - the MAGA enablers are the party leaders who will not run or support candidates who are not genocidal neoliberal ghouls.

          “What’s the point in choosing to eat sand instead of poop (especially when not voting to eat poop means eating poop will be less likely to be one of the choices)? They both taste bad, so we may as well flip a coin.”

            So let’s go with that analogy shall we? What is the winning move in a restaurant that only serves poop or sand? It’s not to order the sand - it’s to tell them that you won’t eat there at all until they offer good food. The democrats won’t change while we keep electing their right-wing ghouls. They need to learn that we will sit it out until they run actual ethical candidates.

              Ah, so youre a “If I don’t participate in how the driver drives this bus, I will be safe when it is driven off the cliff” type.

              To the metaphor, You must eat at the restaurant. Not eating at the restaurant physically cannot happen. Until enough people consistently vote to eat sand, the 50/50 flip between sand and poop will continue to go on unimpeded. Once sand wins consistently enough, paper will be offered. Once paper wins often enough, salads will be offered.

                Actually I don’t have to eat at the restaurant. As much as the restaurant would like to give the impression that there is no choice except genocide, that is not true. The only winning move is to force them to change the menu. Not eating there is the only way to do this. Let’s be real - salad will never be offered while they know they can sell you sand or shit. Let’s look at this the other way - why are you so hostile to the idea of a restaurant that serves real food?

                  You literally do.

                  As an occupant of Earth, you are affected by US politics. Multiply that by a hundred times if you are an American united statesian.

                  The only winning move is to force them to change the menu.

                  Which is not accomplished by encouraging voter apathy, as you have done this entire thread (and even without glancing at your comment history, is probably a core part of your personality/modus operandi).

                  Not eating there is the only way to do this.

                  Then fire yourself into fucking space, because that’s the only way you’re avoiding the consequences of US elections (and as a benefit, the rest of us won’t be dragged into fascism by your encouraging people not to vote against MAGA).

                    You are confusing living with the results of a restaurant environment that only serves shit, with ordering off their menus. Answer me this - if it is SO important that we defeat the shit serving restaurant that you want me to order sand - why is it so inconceivable to you that the democrats might consider serving real food? If the consequences of not voting are so severe why is the only option that is off the table for you running candidates who serve real food? It seems very odd to me that that is the one thing you think is beyond the pale. Doesn’t it seem to strange to you? Let’s hope that in 2028 the democrats realize that the only way to attract customers is to serve real food. Come on - you can do it to stop fascism!
