"vote blue" is so cringe and culty. I mean ya, I am going to vote that way out of self defence... But that particular phrase is definitely not going to speak to someone who didn't already drink the party Kool aid.

Democrats are not your friend, they're just another powerful political establishment. Republicans are your enemy though.

It's vote blue until you suggest replacing Biden then suddenly Biden himself is the only candidate that can win. Why don't Biden's supporters just "vote blue" and elect an anti-genocide candidate?

I’ll vote for the candidate with the most reach who is not trump. That candidate will be a democrat. No other parties are even close. So.

I'm not suggesting an independent or third party. I'm inviting Democrats not to fuck this up like 2016
