The sad, weary liberal that thinks he stood up & did the right & brave thing by voting for two status quo Dems.
It feels a bit like conditioning. An effort to prime voters, in the wake of the tRump disaster, to accept any Dem they're presented.
#votebluenomatterwho is what brought us here.
There is only one way to fight Trump & the MAGA Cult Morons
We need MASSIVE TURNOUT by all Democratic voters in every local, state, and federal election to override Republican voter suppression, dirty tricks, and legal battles.
No one stays home. No one votes for a 3rd party. #VoteBlueNoMatterwho
Both the statement from President Obama and the reply are 💯. We didn't and still don't have to put up with this.

#VoteBlueNoMatterWho
Idc what complaints any of you have about (D)s. They're valid. Fine. We aren't getting jack done as long as #MAGA holds power, and that needs to be the focus. #VoteBlueNoMatterWho, and when we don't have MAGA in the way anymore, we can get to work on holding (D) feet to the fire without hindrance.
But if the US does not have a democracy anymore (which is the situation today), we aren't able to stop war!
#VoteBlueNoMatterWho is a strategy (the only effective strategy) for progressives/liberals/Democrats to attain majority control of government, so some liberal policy progress can be achieved.
"they could throw WAY more sand into the gears than they do"
That does not and cannot accomplish anything. The Republicans have majority control of Congress, SCOTUS, DOJ, FBI, and White House. The ONLY way to stop them is to outvote them in elections.
#VoteBlueNoMatterWho is the only path forward.
Not at all surprising to most of us.
Reason to #VoteBlueNoMatterWho
Schumer/Jeffries are irrelevant to the point I'm making.
I am saying that progressive voters should, FROM NOW ON, #VoteBlueNoMatterWho to win elections and obtain majority control of the government.
It's the only rational strategy for liberals to win power. The more people who #VoteBlue, the better.
All I am trying to say is that #VoteBlueNoMatterWho is a rational strategy that would work if every liberal, progressive, and Democrat obeyed the strategy.
And, I think that explaining the strategy, and showing how effective it is, will more likely increase overall voter turnout than policy shifts.
"Those are not progressives sitting out."
The number of progressives who sat out in 2024, especially young voters, was in the MILLIONS.
If progressives had put aside policy differences and followed the strategic rationality of #VoteBlueNoMatterWho, Harris and Democrats would have won easily.
The #VoteBlueNoMatterWho strategy makes sense for any liberals who want democracy instead of fascist authoritarianism. All other policy considerations are secondary.
The focus of "persuasion" efforts must be on getting people to understand that #BlueNoMatterWho is the only way to defeat fascism.
If every liberal, progressive, and Democrat in the U.S. had united and voted pragmatically and followed the #VoteBlueNoMatterWho strategy in every election in 2016, 2018, 2020, 2022, and 2024, then right now we would have a 6-3 liberal majority on SCOTUS, a liberal Congress, and a woman President.
If every liberal, progressive, and Democrat in the U.S. had united and voted pragmatically and followed the #VoteBlueNoMatterWho strategy in every election in 2016, 2018, 2020, 2022, and 2024, then right now there would be a 6-3 liberal majority on SCOTUS and a liberal Congress.
Long-term strategy.
I'd love to see more progressives on the ballot, but that's unrealistic.
Your strategy is, "Oh, if there aren't sufficiently progressive candidates on the ballot, then I'm not voting for Democrats." And that just hands more power to Republicans.
#VoteBlueNoMatterWho is the only way to win power.
"which led to an even worse Trump"
The reason Trump won is because millions of progressives who voted for Biden in 2020 refused to #VoteBlueNoMatterWho in 2024. That refusal is why conservatives gained another seat on SCOTUS, which will take decades to reclaim.
You have to play the long game.
"that protects a bad status quo"
When progressives refuse to partner with Democrats, when progressives refuse to vote pragmatically, when progressives refuse to #VoteBlueNoMatterWho, then progressives are protecting the status quo ... OF THE CURRENT REPUBLICAN MAJORITY.
Losing isn't winning, dude.
"a delay tactic before an even worse Red shows up"
If every liberal, progressive, and Democrat always voted #BlueNoMatterWho in every election, the "Red" party would lose every election.
This is *long-term* strategy. To attain majority control of SCOTUS, we must #VoteBlueNoMatterWho for 15+ years.
"People will be closely studying how"
It's not complicated. The voters of Hungary put their political policy differences aside, and united pragmatically to preserve the most important policy of all: democracy.
Liberal/progressive voters in the U.S. must unite with Democrats and #VoteBlueNoMatterWho.
There's only one way to defeat anti-democracy authoritarians/fascists: all pro-democracy liberals must unite and outvote them.
That means liberals and progressives must partner with Democrats and vote for viable electable candidates.
To defeat tyrants, we must win elections.
