Lol I swear to god some of you are just accelerationists. You have four options when voting rolls around. Vote red, vote blue, vote green, do nothing.

Voting red accelerates the damage, policies that don't align with your core personal beliefs are implemented and things get worse, fast. Laws that granted more freedom, repealed. Laws that stifle retaliation, rubber stamped. Regression in its purest form.

Voting blue slows things down, opens the gate for progressives to enter the space, even going as far as to win despite aid from the DNC. Mamdani for example. Can lead to fundamental system changes.

Voting green (or "morality voting") usually ends in a lack of funding for the candidate, causing too few people to know who they are. Normies will not vote for a name they don't recognize or a party they don't identify as.

Not voting (or "Protesting the system") leads to candidates that don't represent the interests of the country being elected and makes it easier for those with money to make it harder to actually change the system.

The reason nothing gets fucking done is because you get it in your head to be cute. You want to purity test the left rather than shutting the fuck up and just voting blue. Republicans cannibalized themselves for like a month over speaker of the house, then got their shit together and just pass anything red. In 6 months they have caused more political damage to this country than any left candidate has ever hoped to try. And stupid purists like you are a massive reason why he got elected. Twice.
