because in an effectively two party system where neither party has xyz you should definitely vote for the party that also aren't nazi's ?
The degree of closeness to your ideal of progressive policies doesn't mean shit when the choice is nazi's vs not nazi's.
Unless you are arguing that those weren't the choices available here ?
Yes everyone understands all that. But are you saying we people that vote blue should keep trying the same failing tactics?
If our strategies (manly from leadership and keyboard warriors) keeps failing against literal Nazies, shouldn't we change tactics?!
What other options do we have!? Keep openly ignoring solutions that the majority of Americans want? Or go crying about the none voters that feel the is no party representing them?
You don't like it but look around!
Seriously, what why do you think the none nazi party can get more votes? Times running out and we are losing! Either come up with another answer or keep saying things that obviously lost us an election to Nazies.
Support Universal health care or get the Nazies again. What side are you on?
Support a 2 state solution in Palestine or get the Nazies again. What side are you on?
Support redistribution of wealth or get the Nazies again. What side are you on?
Support the removal of money in politics or get the Nazies again. What side are you on?
Support justice system reform or get the Nazies again. What side are you on?
If you expect a different result with what we've been doing than we truly are doomed. What's the definition of insanity again?
No, but if your tactic changes haven't been implemented by the time voting comes around and the choice remains "nazi's vs not nazi's" then you should be voting "not nazi's".
"The Dems continue to fuck up repeatedly, so i can understand why people chose nazi this time" isn't a tenable argument.
I'm not disagreeing with your disappointment in, well, everything.
I'm disagreeing with this part of your previous reply
If a person understands that the choice is nazi vs not nazi and then actively chooses to not vote, they are tacitly choosing nazi.
"If i vote for the not-nazi's, they won't understand how disappointed in them i am" is not a good argument.
"Their policies don't align with what i want" is not a good argument
"They don't represent my values" is not a good argument
There is no good beginning half to the sentence "< INSERT REASON HERE >, so i tacitly enabled the nazi's"
Except maybe, "I genuinely believe the alternative is worse, so i tacitly enabled the nazi's".
Even then i'd probably disagree, but it would be a substantive argument.
My argument is. Why keep doing a failed strategy? We know how a center right Democratic party ends. Either they lose and Nazies run ramped or they win and the Nazies gain ground until the next election.
Sure, as i said, i don't disagree with that.
What does that argument have to do with whether or not people should assigned some responsibility for how they voted (or didn't) ?
