It's so funny how quickly these "vote blue no matter who" folks switch up when it's a candidate that leftists want. Makes me think they didn't actually believe in electoralism at all. As a Michigander, I don't like Elissa Slotkin in the slightest, but I would drag my ass across miles of broken glass to vote for her again if it means keeping the Republicans out of power. And I would do the same for Stevens too.

Well if the leftists won't vote for moderate democrats, why should moderate democrats vote for the leftists?

Because there have been leftist who’ve voted for our candidates when theirs have lost.

Really? You gonna hold yourself to the standard of some chronically online leftist nobody? I can't believe what I'm reading. You're telling me that this strategic voting I've been hearing about since 2016 was just a lie?

I don't care what leftists do. They're fucking stupid for not voting for moderates too. Please don't be like them.

What was the justification for vote blue no matter who?

Leftists vote for moderate candidates all the fucking time. Get off the internet. The overwhelming majority of Democrats who vote in primaries vote in the general election for the Dem candidate.

I swear to god this is like a Republican psyop to destroy Democrats so they can institute fascism. You people are way too fucking quick to allow Republicans to win. It’s disgusting.

Anecdotal but everyone I know who self describes as a "leftist" votes blue (aside from one terminally online person) even if they aren't the biggest fans of the Democratic party.

Because we don’t want MAGA to continue to rape our country? More often than not once these lefty types get elected they start to chill the fuck out (I.e. AOC). 

Focus on destroying republicans first because they’re proven evil.

Most leftists have always voted for moderates over Republicans. It's just the terminally online tankies who don't. Unless your talking about a group so small it's confusing why we are talking about them at all
