I appreciate a good sympathetic reading, but ultimately you will not change the people who insist that Trump is a more honest choice for progressives. that's because the whole motive there is punitive--not about the slow, often demoralizing work of activism so much as sticking it to Joe Biden.
I mention this mostly because I sometimes feel I'm going crazy on here! but truly, the impulse to somehow punish Democrats by ushering in Trump is just another way of cosplaying for the so-called revolution that will only ever exist online in quarreling leftist forums.
unfortunately, governance mostly sucks! the system of government we have in the states is constitutionally disposed to be especially sucky! most of the time, you will not feel good about making choices on election day; that's because the real work happens outside the polls.
oh, I wasn’t trying to elicit that response! just being honest though - I have a bad habit of disappearing or delaying a response simply because I Do Not Know How to Be THAT IS THE BANE OF MY EXISTENCE but it is YOU who is the gem here LET US NOT BE MISTAKEN I HAVE SPOKEN
