Give people candidates they want to vote for, and they do.
Every person who promoted "strategic voting", the kind that handed 2024 to Trump, this is your time to shut the fuck up about what it takes to win elections. If a candidate doesnʻt have the right issues, the candidate needs to move or change. Thats it. The debate is over.
The concept of strategic voting is a liberal approach to appeasement which gives status quo politicians who no one likes a hall pass to continue to be bad at being politicians. Strategic voting as game theory is bad game theory because its implementation results in the opposite of the outcomes it alleges. It also makes the assumption, from an implicitly white supremacist vision, of what the lessor harm represents. Its utterly bunk and any one who promoted it instead of advocating that candidates move on their positions is in the back seat for the rest of time. I never want to hear it again. Its a disastrous approach to elections, and when you instead, put forward candidates with policies people want, or move politicians to adopting positions people want, you win elections. Its basic fucking politics and we did not need to suffer through this era of fascism because of white supremacist liberals pushing their failed vision of how to win elections. Everything about November 3rd proves them wrong,.
