Man, you really just have to post "I refuse to support genocide" to bring the blue maga nazis out of the woodwork.
It's very simple: I refuse to support genocide.

I am reminded of two quotes from Fear And Loathing On The Campaign Trail '72 by Hunter S. Thompson:
How many more of these stinking, double-downer sideshows will we have to go through before we can get ourselves straight enough to put together some kind of national election that will give me and the at least 20 million people I tend to agree with a chance to vote FOR something, instead of always being faced with that old familiar choice between the lesser of two evils?
Jesus! Where will it end? How low do you have to stoop in this country to be President?
How low? Now, I guess we know. Voting for the lesser evil for 50 years has got you Trump. Twice. How much lower are you going to go?
I have no solutions. Things will probably have to break completely before the mending can begin.

Since I was twenty-one in 1889, I have in theory followed the voting plan strongly advocated by Sidney Lens in The Nation of August 4, i.e., voting for a third party even when its chances were hopeless, if the main parties were unsatisfactory; or, in absence of a third choice, voting for the lesser of two evils
Well that's a depressing read. The American rot runs deep. It's frankly disturbing how accurate that article still is.
The writer drops some great lines though.
Thanks.

How the fuck would the dnc generate a lefty candidate? Thats like asking the circus to generate something other than a clown.
If the electoral system only lets you choose leaders who don't align with the majority, it's not a democracy. It's a dictatorship with extra steps.
Maybe even a
Dictatorship of the bourgeoise
I'm not that sure that history will give a shit about US American Democrats or US American Republicans.
Those labels will be lost. "US American" concentration camps, disappearing citizens, ignoring court orders, death squads ... there will be no "oh that was just the Republicans"; it will be "oh that was just the Americans".
And they will be right to do so. The Dems are fully complicit in enabling this.

It's not even generate a candidate that doesn't support genocide, it's literally just not stand in the way of or conspire against such a candidate, but naturally the DNC and their controlled opposition functionaries can't even manage to do the right thing by doing nothing at all.
Mamdani: βHey, people really seem to resonate with this message and will hand you an easy, landslide win.β
DNC, publicly: βHow about you go fuck yourself?β
new dnc chair totally promises they won't this time, please pay no attention to their constant and immediate attacks on anyone in dnc trying to move the party left or learn from 2024
