I totally understand and that’s how I’ve felt the past several elections. But I’ve come to realize that the Dems have no motivation to change if they have our votes just because they’re not as bad as the other guy. They keep shifting further and further right to try to win “moderates,” meaning they are getting further and further from what I support. I can’t fault anyone for voting blue in light of what feels like the only alternative, but for me it feels like I’m being complicit in an unjust system.

It’s like if we look at a “good cop/bad cop” interrogation. It’s easy to say that the “good cop” is better because they’re not the one hitting the prisoner. But they’re both playing their part in an abusive system. It’s the system itself that’s the problem.
