As a center-leftist supporting third party candidates (Go Claudia de la Cruz!), no a Trump victory won't unite the left, because a Trump victory won't make me like the Democrats more than I do now. If the Democrats want my vote, they will have to start appealing to me as a voter (stop supporting Israels war, reduce military spending, etc)- but the Democrats don't have these policies and a Trump victory won't change that.
Tl;dr a Trump victory changes nothing for my stance as a third party supporter
You missed my point. If Trump manages to pull off what he literally and explicitly endorses, we'll land in the same grave together and be united that way. He has praised Hitler. You know, the guy who used a fire to suspend civil rights and persecute political opponents.
Support progressive politics in local elections, but right now, damage control is the strategic option.
Put differently, is "protect civil rights" not an issue on your ballot?
