No ones ignoring the election. You vote and send a clear message that they can’t ignore; Uncommitted. i.e. “I voted against you because of genocide. Period.” There will be no room for blithering about how maybe dems didn’t appeal to imaginary disillusioned Republicans enough or that people want bipartisan genocide or how we can afford to ignore the youth vote blah blah. The reason they lost the vote will be crystal fucking clear.
They can then choose to accept that reality and adjust, or they can deny it and continue doing the same losing strategy. If they continue using the same losing strategy at that point then that is a sure sign that the DNC will never be capable of learning or adapting and that they will never be capable of confronting fascism. And at that point the American people need to start considering harder realities.
The goal is to do harm reduction now, and start building a better candidate for next time.
This has never worked. We are where we are right now because this kind of thinking has been allowed to prevail in the Democratic party. Things have not improved, we have lost basic rights, not gained more. We have grown closer to fascism inder the corporate Democrat leadership, not further.
When they spit in your fucking face next election cycle and tell you to vote for their chosen corporate conservative Dem like a good dog you’ll do it, repeating the same brainless line you’re trying to spin right now.
Know how I know? Because it’s been the same bullshit neoliberals have been doing for forty fucking years. Same trajectory of failure and short-term, fear-based voting.
Oh don’t worry, they’ll be patting themselves on the back. They think that if you just walk away from the trolley problem, they have no fault. Their neck will be in the guillotine and they still won’t see how they contributed to it. Purity politics are a selfish, foolish plague on our nation.
The delusion is ignoring the election and then complaining (edit about what gets elected). I’m SURE you won’t do that.

Ok enjoy trump HAPPILY supporting genocide ENTHUSIASTICALLY both in Palestine and in Ukraine.
You are in a limited outcome situation. You get one choice in January: trump or Biden. One of them will be president.
Edit I share the opinion bidens choices are very very bad, I just acknowledge trump will make them worse
