No, it’s not. This is a lie to keep people from actually breaking the system. Every election is just a game of wedge issues used to polarize the population into two camps. That’s not how we as a people work. They’ve been doing this for decades, and it’s worked. Women’s rights, gay rights, racial equality, trans rights. They’re always building their platform around minority groups (or foriegn issues) and being loud about it while not doing anything to foster the support they claim to offer. What is the actual population of trans students in the U.S.? I am an ally, but I can see what it is now. It’s virtue signaling. It’s manufacturing a battle, or choosing one, that will keep us engaged and supportive while also making sure they don’t have to do anything for labor rights or reining in corporate America and wealth.
“Vote blue no matter who” is a trap to signal that the establishment is just going to tell you what you want to hear. Anyone actually willing to pull the country the other way won’t win their primary. Period.
A third-party candidate can be an actual threat because they pull voters from everywhere. Regardless, I’m not playing the red vs. blue bullshit anymore. I’m voting with my heart and beliefs, and I hope others do the same before third parties are completely locked out of the digital environment the same way they are in the corporate news environment.
And don’t come at me in response with some hypothetical about one of those minority groups, as I’m sure you or others like you would, as if it’s a binary choice.
