    Slowing the decline is one aspect of treatment, and the best outcome presently available via electoral action. More significant progress requires alternative methods. Mitigating damage via the electoral vector is more valuable to the efficacy of those alternative methods than whatever it is you’re trying to do by not mitigating damage.

        so many words just to cope that you got owned

        What are you, 12? Why would I be “owned” by a fundamental misunderstanding of electoral mechanisms?

        Name another “aspect of treatment”

        • Promoting progressive candidates in primaries

        • Writing your representatives directly

        • Becoming active in local politics

        • Protesting

        • Arming yourself

        • Building community and mutual aid with your neighbors

        • Unionizing your workplace

        • Collaborating with leftist groups to coordinate action

        And that’s off the top of my head. None of those actions are lessened in any way by voting for whatever the Dems put out in the general election, to keep MAGA out. Any other electoral action perpetuates the acceleration of fascism. We’ve got concentration camps and military in the streets, continuing to pretend that “both sides” are identical is just patently unserious if not deliberately in bad faith.

        Your turn. Answer the question: What alternative action is available at the ballot box that yields a better outcome? I think you keep dodging the question because you know you don’t have an answer. You’re either a shill, or a kid hypnotized by counterproductive idealism.

            Why am I not surprised that someone who believes it’s impossible to do two different things is incapable of reading past the first element of a list. Honestly, you’re being deliberately stupid at this point. Maybe seek mentorship from someone who had the brainpower to walk and chew gum at the same time.

            Again, not liberal, just not stupid. Work on your reading comprehension and critical thinking skills, then your opinion might hold non-zero value.

            And you still haven’t answered the question. Are you too dumb to come up with an answer, or are you a shill?

                And again, still unable to answer the question. You’re now tagged as “Fascist’s Little Helper”. I don’t have time for fascists or their useful idiots

                    I asked you a question, you ignored it and asked me a question.

                    I answered that question and asked you the first question again, you ignored it.

                    I asked you a third time, you deflected.

                    You’re in debt here, and you still can’t answer the question.

                    I don’t have time for fascists or their useful idiots.
