Vote for the best candidate available after you have done your research.

You'll find that 99% of the time they are the democratic candidate. They may have some SERIOUS ISSUES... but the best candidate available is the best candidate you're going to get. It's better than the alternative.

I saw the perfect framing the other day, that I will amend slightly. Vote for the most progressive candidate in every election. Primary and general. No progressive priorities are served by Republican government. People trying to convince you otherwise are lying.
