There’s no such thing as throwing away your vote, if the person the party puts forwards doesn’t represent you then you select someone who does. It’s not my job to vote democrats into power no matter what, it’s their job to put forward a candidate that supports me to EARN my vote. And with what they did to Bernie in 2016, they won’t let someone with a sniff of progressive political discourse run as the nominee.
You can vote how you want. But in the two party system we effectively have in the US, not voting dem only makes sense if you really have no preferences between maga and dem. (Ie your ok with pedophiles running the country, destroying alliances, etc etc) And so if maga wins, unless you voted dem, you have not done what you could to stop them. So you are responsible for them winning and getting into power and all their policies. It sucks, but it’s how it is. The key is understanding how although not perfect (possibly even bad), the dems are better than maga. Chose whatever you want - maga or dem.
I thought I didn’t matter and shouldn’t be involved in political discussions? You’re sure putting a lot of effort to try and convince someone you said doesn’t matter.
Because the left have been beaten so much by your precious and “better” Democrats that they no longer play your games. Again, great job showing your true colors as well and having a crash out over someone disagreeing with you that I shouldn’t be able to vote at all. That’s not very “liberal” at all.

Democrats are not better, you believe they’re better because you believe in a binary that there are only two choices.
