No it assumes you actually take the time to vet them or potentially volunteer/work for a campaign to get them on the ballot. Be the change you want to see and all that. Jeering from the sidelines won’t get you anywhere.
So I should vet the single Democrat on the primary ballot for anything other than US president in a state that hasn’t given an electoral college vote to a Democrat since the 1964 election?
That seems worth my time since I’m going to vote for them anyway!
There are more elections than just the one for president every four years. If that is the only time you become politically engaged then there is a much larger discussion to be had tbh
That assumes I like any of the choices or that I think a party that regularly ignores their voters would positively change based on my vote.
I just use them to oppose fascists.

This is true for EVERY ELECTION. Unless I personally run for office this will continue to be true, and I am too honest to be in politics.
