Don't listen to this. Vote like this will be the last election you ever get to vote in because if you don't it may just be.

Let me guess: three-time Trump voters who would absolutely vote for him if he was running again but are temporarily inconvenienced

Let's not forget that the Bulwark is a bunch of never Trumper Republicans. You have to watch what they do through that lens, especially Sarah Longwell. They're allies for now, but they will eventually turn on us.

Maybe it's like micro transactions - once you break the seal you're much more likely to keep going.

It’s propaganda to keep democrats and centrists away from the polls “because winning is a sure thing”.
Happens every single election.
Vote, and vote in numbers too big to be cheated.

The unthinkable idea for me would be to vote for a republican. I wouldn’t vote for a republican even for a dog shit picker upper position!

To me, as a Norwegian, the thought of feeling so tied/connected/whatever to a political party that you essentially hand them your vote no matter what, for life, is very strange. I've voted for what must be 6 or 7 different parties, so far in my life. My vote goes to the party whose policies most closely align with my own thoughts (at the time) on how and what to address, and the people I feel are most likely to follow through on their promises.

Aww yeah first time I’ve seen the bulwark on lemmy! Can’t recommend them enough, Sarah’s latest book is a fascinating explanation of what’s going on with us voters, I highly recommend reading it if you want to understand the insane contradictions in the US populace
replies:
This will be more reason why leftists who wouldn’t vote anyways not to vote again.
