If you want two functional parties and you vote for Dems, work to build a vibrant left within the center-right Democratic Party that’s big enough to stand up on its own. Don’t try to resurrect the failed fascist Republican party.

In the middle of an election is when you draw a contrast and tell people the opposing party should lose, not that you agree with them on fundamental issues! Duh! The symbolism is totally wrong! It’s not the same as “I’ll have a Republican in my cabinet.” It’s “it doesn’t matter who you vote for.”
