Okay.
… that’s exactly what every BlueMAGA says bud.
That’s exactly my point bud. Instead of trying to consider my point, it disagrees with you so you put it in the BlueMAGA box so you don’t have to think about it.
And no, every BlueMAGA doesn’t say that. They say to vote for their current neoliberal darling. They’re not encouraging you to vote for socialists in the primary.
It’s something rational leftists say to try to convince stalwart ideologues to act in a way that will actually help in some way.
I notice you didn’t even try to address my actual point. How would you feel about vegans trying to sabotage a non-vegan, Pro-Palestine candidate? Are you willing to sacrifice Palestine for a stand on something the other guy wasn’t going to do either? What’s the point? Cui bono?
If you can’t answer that question honestly then you need to rexamine your approach.
… That’s what you’re doing.
You’re trying to tell me that your motives make all the difference. I’m telling you on the internet if you walk like BlueMAGA and quack like BlueMAGA you’re BlueMAGA.
If we need their votes to win in the general election we need to consider who they would want in the primary.
BlueMAGA treats primaries like winner take all contests which is precisely how you described it. How many more general elections do you want to lose so you can continue living in that fantasy?
Answer the question. Sabotage a pro-Palestine candidate because they aren’t vegan yes or no.
Define “sabotage” in this context for me? People refusing to vote for a candidate they do not feel represents them?
Encourage others to refuse to vote for them on moral grounds because they’re evil
So… campaigning? I support it. That’s a part of a functioning democracy.
Discouraging people online from voting isn’t campaigning.
Just to be clear, you support campaigning against a pro-Palestine candidate in a race against a pro-Israel candidate, on the grounds of promoting a change that neither one will implement. So you’re saying Palestinians are an acceptable sacrifice in order to make a moral stance which will not actually lead to any change.
Says you. 🤷
You’re trying to turn this into some kind of gotcha for me but it won’t work because I believe in a functional democracy voters don’t owe politicians or other voters their votes. All you’re doing is making an argument against democracy.
At the end of the day Biden/Harris didn’t win the election. If you wanted a different outcome you should be angry at them for failing to do their jobs as politicians and find a way to represent the people they were depending on to get reelected. Biden didn’t have to go around congress twice to ship weapons to Israel. Biden didn’t have to side with rail corporations and block the rail strike. But these are the decisions he made and Trump won again. If you want a better outcome then work to get better candidates through the primaries.
