The primary is finally about to hit my home state and people are talking about doing an "uncommitted" campaign like our neighbors. Local org was debating whether to sign on. Pro position was standard local DSAish stuff. Con position was "voting at all legitimizes this genocidal regime".
I'm inside the "progressive death star" of this swing state that swung it from Trump in 2016 to Biden in 2020. It ain't happening. I'm sorry sweety genocide is unelectable.
I really don't see how voting for "I'm explicitly saying this is all horseshit" legitimizes voting.
If you don't vote theyll just ignore you, it's a lot harder to spin the fact that 20% of people voted for "go fuck yourself"
This has been proven over and over and over again; I can't believe it's still a topic of debate.
