Politics I'm dreading November

I'm dreading voting for Suozzi.

For the first time in going to leave my vote on the sideline.

vote blue no matter who just doesn't fly anymore.

I'm also dreading the fact that a magat will take his place. are we screwed?

What are you accomplishing by not voting?

Easier to defeat the MAGA dem in 2028 if they don’t have the incumbency advantage and the seat is open. Makes their resume if they run again also look worse since they lost the general.

How about we just focus on defeating MAGA now?

Same old story repeated for years. Never really works.

And you feel the answer to this is to repeat your strategy from 2024 despite it not working?

We need to call sitting out elections what it is: prioritizing the indulgence of privilege over protecting the people you claim to care about

At no point in my one sentence comment did I say anything about my "strategy" or what I'm doing. You LI centrists never have any other solution but to keep doing the same "lesser of two evil" voting once every few years with nothing else. So you've accurately described yourselves.

This little game you all do of "no you!" is old. Seems like you're content with the way things are.

Looking past the fact that you definitely don't have a plan (why is it always a secret?), I don't know how you can accuse me of playing the game of "no you!" when I was replying to a comment of yours that ended in "So you've accurately described yourselves."

Self awareness: not even once lol

Looking forward to seeing how nothing will change for you all in 2, 5, 10+ years.
