To be clear, I was and am one of the ones saying the people who didn't vote out of protest or not bothering contributed to the current regime.

But yes, right now is exactly the time to start going after the Dems. Now is the time to support progressives. Now is the time for shitting on the Chuck Schumers and try to push them out of office. There is little those on the left can do to persuade the current regime, but on the off-chance there are legitimate-ish elections next year or in three years, either shifting the Dems left or replacing them with a viable Left Party is the thing we should do right now.

In other words, now is not the time for the lesser evil.

But later when there’s another shit-neolib candidate is?

Yes. When you end up with only two choices, not choosing means "both are equally bad." So do everything you can to get better candidates before that point. Or uproot the entire system. Or whatever. Beforehand.

Check this…there are other candidates. But I know how y’all feel about voting your conscience…
