No, it will be on the hands of the people who voted for Trump, not mine.

If there is a mob boss threatening to kill your family, and you fuck around trying to negotiate with the useless police to do something, and during that negotiation the mob boss kills your family, it is absolutely on you.

You wasted your time negotiating when your family was getting killed. You can't just stand back and doing nothing while people's lives are in danger.

The only viable long term strategy for minority groups is to band together and draw a red line that the democrats cannot win without meeting, and that red line means opposing the Palestinian genocide. I believe there’s a famous poem about what happens when the government starts picking people off and you do nothing, because you are not part of that group. We will be next.

I am well aware. And telling people to vote 3rd party is equivalent to doing nothing, and letting the Palestinians go first. Because no matter how hard you tell people to abandon the DNC, at best you can only hope for people voting for the closest candidate to them, which means that Trump wins.

And the SCOTUS just ruled that Trump is immune from persecution for "official acts". How much do you want to bet your life and your trans brothers and sisters lives on your/our deaths being "official acts"?

Your guilt tripping is meaningless to me, it will not get me to abandon my commitment to solidarity and to opposing genocide.

I implore you, please continue your opposition to the Palestinian genocide. But Trump will make their lives significantly worse in addition to the queer community.

Voting is a negotiation, and the party can change who it runs or how they act based on the actions of voters.

That's exactly what I've been saying. If the establishment democrats get trashed in their primaries, the party will shift, just like the GOP shifted towards the MAGA crowd.

This is exactly what I've been saying.

The mathematics of the situation are irrelevant, it is a game of chicken and they will flinch before I do. It’s their job to win us over, and if they can’t do that, they will lose and it will be their fault.

They didn't flinch in 2016. They didn't flinch in 2020. They're not gonna flinch this time.

They ran with Clinton and Biden despite knowing how hated they are. You may be willing to play that game of chicken, but you're not the only voter, you need everyone else to play it with you. Not everyone is willing to play that game of chicken, which is why 3rd party candidates don't win.

Your strategy is a losing one.

Except that a third party could enact voting reform to get us out of this situation permanently, something which is impossible otherwise.

Could. They could, but they also could find that they quite like power and keep it the way it is.

And no, it is not impossible otherwise. I've already shown you how actual leftist candidates can gain power within the DNC (unless I got you confused with a different user).
