    ~ average leftist who understands the voting mechanism.

    Vote Democrat until “You’re voting 3rd party? Everyone knows D and R are the only viable options” becomes “You’re voting R? Everyone knows D and 3rd party are the only viable options”

    Republicans have been strategically big-tenting for generations, leftist-unity is so embarrassing it’s become a meme.

      This. If the republican party crumbles, Democrats could become the right party, with Progressives as the left. At least then we’d have two parties with ideas and an interest in governing.

        I doubt I’ll live to see a world where leftist policy is truly mainstream, but I think I might live to see a world where the Democrats are the far-right party.

          Orange guy wins and you’ll likely live to see first hand a recreation of how the Nazis turned Germany into a dictatorship…

          Very well may be the last vote you ever make that even matters a little.
