1. i'm talking about the primaries, where you outright choose a leftist
2. if you think "i'm not voting and i'm sending a message to centrist dems":
it doesn't send anyone any message
they just ignore you
and it means you don't care about trans rights, women's rights, voting rights, immigrants, what is going on in iran right now, etc
to pout and sit things out and risk all of that and more "to send a message" is entitled as fuck
nobody cares about people who don't vote

@benroyce Okay, so when a pro-genocide candidate gets nominated, it's best for leftists to vote third-party or write-in in the general. Got it.
