    Just saying you’re above voting for blue is the same callous bullshit that got us here in the first place.

    Vote blue no matter who is absolutely the dominant strain of thought in the liberal left. If anything is to blame for “getting us here in the first place”, it’s decades of callously putting down people calling for something better.

      Doing nothing is also screwing us over. Go do something about it if you’ve had your fill with complaining. Canvas for a progressive, run for office yourself, vote blue, or watch the country crumble into fascism. It’s your choice.

        Sure, I’ll do all this, and I’ll continue to push back against reactionaries like Newsom. I never said people shouldn’t do anything, I never said I’d do nothing, this is just dodging the question at hand.
