    The strategy here is to primary and run demsocs in democratic strongholds. Like those California districts that will never turn red. If its a competitive district vote against the republican so at the least youre stalling their project 2025 horse shit. Also dont trust a third party that only shows up for presidential elections.

      Refreshing to see someone get it, and put it so simply. Agreed, I’m all for incremental change, when it’s the only option. Go for the big wins when there is legitimate opportunity, but it takes work to get them. The biggest piece people miss is those opportunities start locally, and in primaries.

      Most these days just want to vote, nothing else, so they check out until it’s time to pull the lever, and then they just bitch and moan about the shit sandwich they have in front of them.

      Also dont trust a third party that only shows up for presidential elections.

      Like renowned magician Jill Stein, who magically appears during elections, siphons votes away from non-fascist candidates that can actually win, then magically disappears again after she inevitably loses.

      Lot of braindeads fell for that one last time around.
