Or voting for candidates that will solve the problem?
I know! False dichotomies!
People can vote and also be critical of a party that keeps betraying them. Let me know when you get some of those candidates that are interested in solving problems. I see precious few of them, and am very much looking forward to voting for Talarico this November. I haven’t seen much in the way of attempts by centrists to sink his campaign since his opponent in the primaries was also a progressive, and his messaging actually has some thought behind it.
I know this thread’s about Lucy with the football, but that’s every election in Texas. “Maybe this time a democrat will win.” But holy fuck, can you imagine if a progressive took Texas of all places? It would instantly and permanently destroy the self-serving “progressives can’t win anywhere but the bluest states” narrative of the entrenched centrist hegemony.

I have a little bit of hope too.
