  • I respect that, I just disagree. I think my line of reasoning is sound. I’m not pushing people out of political engagement I’m simply saying not to vote for a centrist candidate.

    Also, someone would have to understand my comment politically in order to be swayed by my rhetoric. If I’m advocating for left candidates and pointing out why I’m not voting for centrists I think that’s a winning strategy.

    As long as we agree on two things, I think this conversation has reached its conclusion : 1. That my strategy is to only vote left or stay home. 2. Your strategy is to always vote for the most left leaning candidate even if the party keeps moving right.

    If that’s not your position let me know.



  • America is whatever the population chooses it to be. I’m not looking for a perfect leftist option. I’ve been voting for the most left candidate since I’ve been able to vote (primaries, general, midterms, local, school board).

    I believe in the electoral/civic process but, if the ratchet has tightened so far to the right then I don’t want to keep voting for the center. My position of abstaining from the process, and encouraging others to do the same, is my way of pushing the needle left.
