minus-squaregivesomefucks@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down3·7 months ago Voting for a progressive third party in the general will not get you a progressive win. So are you just under the impression that we’re not only stuck with Biden, there’s nothing the Dem base can ever do to ever change his mind? So the only option besides letting Biden do only whatever he wants, is voting third party? Because I don’t understand why Biden supporters skip the step where it’s a possibility Biden listens to his base.
