So are you suggesting the November General Elecrion is the time? This is what I don’t understand about these threads. They don’t seem based in reality at all. What do you think will happen if people either don’t vote, or protest vote a 3rd party candidate? Please play that scenario out for me with a Trump win and how that solves anything.
For starters, I don’t live in a swing state, so my vote is completely irrelevant. Secondly, the ball was in the Democrats’ courts to win this earlier. They threw it, they have been throwing it, and they are still throwing this election.
I fear they’ve already lost by not giving the people what they want. Again, they’re not even pretending to try to give the people what they want. What kind of selling point is “we’re not going to accomplish anything next term.”
Is it the ideal time? Absolutely not. But whether it’s the November general elections, midterms or local city council, there’s always plenty of people like you popping up to say “This is not the time, this is the most important election ever!” when there’s any chance of opposition to Democratic hegemony, but when they’re on path for a comfortable win, “Oh, those policies are too extremist, they’ll be unelectable.” No matter the circumstances, Democrats always have some pretext to try and dismiss progressives and socialist, while demanding unchecked fealty in the elections from them.
If no time is ever a good time for you to listen to people, tough shit, you’re going to hear their voices when you don’t want to.

It’s really hard to discern between people who are fundamentally frustrated with the system and conservative bots (in flesh or code).
In the end they’ll both lead to the same thing though, so does it really matter?
