Justice or Nothing: I'm Done Voting for Cowardice

2. Yes, push our ineffective electeds to wake up to reality. Yes, support challengers. However...

When it comes to defeating the Trumpublican/Fascist threat, we must be very, very, very clear.

If we splinter, if we become divided against ourselves, THEY WIN.

There are Democrats who piss me off no end, but I will NEVER withhold my vote when it is a choice between a Democrat who appears to be deluded about the nature of the enemy we face and an ally of that enemy.

And until we have ranked choice/ instant runoff voting in general elections, I will not be voting for an independent, green, or other candidate who doesn't have a shot.

We can push to implement ranked choice/ instant runoff voting in our primaries. That's how to get people familiar with it and how to spread it to general elections. But until we have it in our general elections, the two party system will continue to dominate.

Herding Democrats is more challenging and more frustrating than herding cats, but never lose track of the fact that those who continue to affiliate with the Trumpublican party are the real enemy.
