Thing is my belief isn’t the only one that matters. If I think it’s bad, but others on our side see it as good, then who am I to tell you to stop doing it?

If someone believed that helping Nazis genocide the Jews was going to help the Allies win WW2, would that not be a point one should object to for reasons both moral and strategic, regardless of the fact that the end goal of defeating the Nazis is the same?

We both can amase a community built “army” (or whatever term you’d use) to achieve the end goal. Mine can support third party candidates at every level from local to national along with working to convince people in a deep red midwest state to do the same. Yours can support the Dem candidates at every level and work to primary out corporate Dems while holding your nose for the “lesser evil”. Neither hurts the other, even if you want to believe getting people to vote for a non-Dem candidate hurts your goal even with plenty of other work being done at the community level.

Man, I'm not even talking about primaries, I'm talking about one vote every four fucking years for the sake of minimizing the harm of a presidential position which has become far too fucking powerful. I'm not here to fight with anyone talking third party anywhere from local dog catcher to the fucking Senate. Just on the presidency, which, as we have seen presently, kind of does affect the lives of literal millions by the one fucking person who gets into office.

If you think taking 20 minutes out of your fucking day once every four years to minimize the chances of mass-murder of American minorities, marginalized groups abroad, and, as with this latest insanity, thousands of Iranians, is too arduous, or too much of an intrusion on your 'purity'...

I'm not going to pretend that's a course of (in)action worthy of anything but utter disgust, same as someone who says that the way to win WW2 is to help the Nazis genocide the untermensch. I'm sure as shit not going to asspat you for it. We may be able to work together as-needed in other areas, but I'm never going to pretend that that's anything but abhorrent.
