    Dems will nominate Ted Cruz as their candidate in 2028 to appeal to non-MAGA Republicans. Centrist dems will then demand everyone support him because, in theory, he’ll be a little bit better than Trump, who is running for his third term. Remember, as a voter, the only criteria you’re allowed to use is whether the Dem candidate is slightly better than the Republican one. If you’re a Democrat, it is your moral duty to vote for Ted Cruz in 2028. If you don’t, you’re morally responsible for anything Trump does in his third term.

      And this is why we need to replace corporate and centrist Dems with actual leftists - there’s like 3 in the whole party.

      A protest vote in the presidential is ineffectual, but replacing the party with people who will actually do something will lead to them fielding actually competent candidates.
