Fados posted:These types of dilemas and it's debate, which today seem to be more and more common, are just a way to cover the main issue which is the lack of a true left alternative. Voting for the lesser evil is voting for the bigger evil only a couple of electoral cycles down the line but even more evil and more competent. This really just is total nonsense. Ignoring that people don't actually vote based on political polar alignment, if what you were saying is true you'd be seeing actual leftists winning in local and state races outside small pockets like Seattle. Yet it doesn't happen and furthermore there is no evidence that people are craving a leftist surge but only to be held back by the man or whatever. The sc special election candidate did just as well as any other, arguably the best of all of them, and they were a Goldman sachs dude. But it's interesting this has bipartisan agreement - both sides attribute any loss to not being extreme enough! If the left wants to be taken seriously why don't they try winning? It doesnt cost much at all to run in state races - something like that could easily be crowdsourced. But voters on the left tend to be young and for some reason it's impossible to get young people to care about anything but the presidency.
