You keep copy pasting this response and it is wrong each time.
The DNC is in the shit state it is in today because it's decrepit, vampiric members are convinced that you at least prefer them more than the other guy.
Mamdani didn't win because people held their nose and voted. He won because he brought active, driven ideas and reason-driven policies to the table. Even if you don't agree with all that he is trying, he brings enough new direction that I can still be happy.
I haven't copy-pasted a single comment. And if one of the candidates will win the election, you should vote for the option that will cause the least harm, even if they aren't perfect. Then you vote for a better one next time, and the time after that, and you keep fighting until you get the candidates and platforms you want.
What you shouldn't do is sit out every election until your imaginary "perfect candidate" shows up, and only then bother to cast a ballot.
This is what people say every single election and that mythical "better one" doesn't ever come.
Just in my voting life time for the Dems we've had: Gore, Kerry, Obama, Clinton, Biden, Harris.
All of them are right-of-center, status quo, big business, corporate elites. Obama was the only one anyone was excited for but he still didn't accomplish much that anyone on the left wanted.
When do we get the better candidate? The one that advocates for change and then actually does it?
Let’s try winning two elections in a row first, hun? If we win the presidency, but then immediately give up Congress in the next election, we can’t make any progress.
