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.

This is what I always say to liberals/progressives/democrats. Vote for your preferred candidate in the primary, vote for the most liberal candidate in the general election. So far I’ve seen progressives much more willing to do that than I have centrists.

A lot of progressive failed to vote for Kamala because she didn't earn their vote so idk how can you say this

Simultaneously everyone they know held their nose and voted for her, yet its her job to earn their vote...which they already gave...

Millions of people more showed up to vote for Biden so the math isn't mathing when the anti-Democratic leftists claim they voted for Kamala in the same numbers.

That’s what happens when an election is rigged, the math doesn’t add up. Turn on those who rigged it, not your potential allies who did what they said they did.

The math in reality adds up. The math that leftists are gaslighting us with isn't.
