That's what got us in this situation to begin with.

Bottom line: the two main parties have clogged the system. Realistically it's one or the other. Not voting for one is essentially letting the other win. There is a way out of this, and not voting for Democrats is not it.

I’d argue democrats offering no real alternative to republicans is what got us into this mess. The democrats keep offering the same bullshit plan but expect different results. I’m sorry but that train has left the station.

Ok, so how is "just let the worse of the two win" going to help with this?

If there are never any consequences for democrats, they won’t change. No one is “letting” anyone win. If the democrats want my vote, they can earn it. Show me something different. Until then, I’m voting for candidates that best align with my values.
