If you vote for Democrats and help get Democrats elected, SOME of your progressive policy goals can be achieved. If you withhold your vote and don't help Democrats get elected, NONE of your policy goals will be achieved -- and, millions of citizens will have their rights taken away. You choose.

To achieve progressive reforms, you must first get liberals in control of the branches of government. The only way to do that is to vote for popular candidates who can actually win their elections: Democrats. Voting #BlueNoMatterWho is the only rational long-term strategy for liberal voters.

To defeat the corrupt fascist authoritarians, progressive/liberal voters must unite behind candidates who can actually win their elections. That means voting for Democrats. The only path to regaining control of the government is to be pragmatic and #VoteBlueNoMatterWho to put sane people in power.

Trump won in 2024 because a minority of voters showed up and voted in massive numbers, while a massive majority of voters who could have stopped Trumpism by voting for Harris-Walz refused to. The election was decided by 2.3 million votes. 35 million registered voters refused to vote in 2024. Fools.

In 2016, 33% of Americans realized that if they all united and voted for Trump, they could win and gain control over the other 67% of Americans who only vote "if the candidate inspires them." If you want progressive reform, you must unite and vote pragmatically to win elections. #VoteBlueNoMatterWho

No, Nader cost Gore the election, but thanks for offering me a toot on your pipedream pipe. In a perfect world, you could vote your conscience. But right now, the choice is fascist Nazis or Democrats. Voting for a 3rd party helps the Nazis, period.

To reform the government, you must first attain majority control of the government. That is why the ONLY rational strategy on election day is to vote for liberal candidates who can actually win their elections. That means you must vote for Democrats. There is no other path. #VoteBlueNoMatterWho

NBC News lets only paid subscribers read about the cyclosporiasis outbreak, but you can have RFK Jr.'s bullshit for free. Stop gatekeeping urgent public health information, you @nbcnews.com ghouls!!!

Please stop publicly attacking the only political party that has a mathematical chance to defeat the authoritarian Trump regime. If you want the House Democrats to do something differently, pick up a phone and call them, behind the scenes. When you attack Democrats, you're helping Republicans.

DON'T TAKE THE BAIT. THEY ARE DOING ALL THESE CRAZY THINGS ON PURPOSE, TO DISTRACT *YOU* FROM THE EPSTEIN FILES. STOP POSTING ABOUT THE REFLECTING POOL!!! STAY FOCUSED ON THE STORY THEY ARE TRYING TO BURY.

Refusing to vote is not a strategy. It's stupidity. To achieve reforms, you must first attain majority control of government. That is done by winning elections. Liberals/progressives must UNITE pragmatically with Democrats and #VoteBlueNoMatterWho. It's the ONLY way to defeat conservativism/fascism.

That is a fantasy pipedream. It can't happen in the next 10 years, and meanwhile, millions more citizens lose healthcare, abortion, civil/voting rights, freedoms, and fascists remain in power. Your selfish interests are NOT more important than the needs of your 3,000,000 fellow citizen Americans.

"this position and attitude will allow populist opportunists to take over" No, you're the ones who allowed that to occur, because you refuse to vote for Democrats, thus enabling Trump. There is a clear difference between the 2 parties. Withholding your vote is not a strategy, it's selfish idiocy.

"Withholding your vote from socialist doesnt achieve any reforms either." No one is doing that. 3rd party socialists lose consistently. Most voters aren't dumb enough to vote for people who can't possibly win elections. Maybe someday you'll figure that out and stop wasting your votes.

The rich fucks aren't going to let it be socialized. Also, very soon, A.I. is going to "progress" to the point where A.I. won't allow anyone to unplug A.I. Did you not see any of the fucking Terminator movies?!? Ooh, let's be "boosters" of the robots that will have no problem decapitating us. RUFKM?

Refusing to vote is not a strategy. It is pure stupidity. The only way to achieve change and reform is to attain control of the government, and that is done by winning elections. Democrats must UNITE pragmatically and #VoteBlueNoMatterWho. It is the ONLY strategy to defeat conservativism/fascism.

Just a reminder: You could have prevented today's horrors by voting for Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Kamala Harris in 2024. #VoteBlueNoMatterWho was and is the ONLY effective political strategy for liberals to win elections, attain power, and regain control of the Supreme Court and U.S. Senate.

If "burn it all down" is your political platform, you're a childish imbecile. Knocking over the chess board isn't a victory. And if "I refuse to participate in the crooked system" is your voting strategy, you're a clueless tool. They WANT you to not vote. Elections are the ONLY pathway to change.

DOs and DON'Ts for progressives: DO rage online against capitalist greed. DON'T burn down a warehouse, endanger firefighters, pollute the environment, put innocent employees out of work, and praise murderer Luigi Mangione as a role model. DO be a progressive. DON'T be a fucking psycho asshole.

"not committing genocide" is not the only "basic moral foundation." There are other vital human/civil rights, such as free speech, freedom of religion, equality, rule of law, voting rights, and free elections. Without those in place, you cannot stop genocide. That's why winning elections is key.

"If it moved enough voters on its own we would not be here." We are here because too many progressives withheld their support and refused to vote for Harris and Democrats in 2024. Harris lost by just 2.5 million votes. I blame progressives, not swing voters. P.S. I'm a lifelong progressive.

Were you one of the 95 million Americans who refused to vote in 2024? Were you one of the 35 million registered voters who refused to vote for Harris-Walz? Were you one of the 2.3 million Americans who could have prevented the fascists from getting majority control of the government? FUCK YOU.

Go look up legislation passed under the Biden administration. Numerous achievements for women, POC, civil rights, education, healthcare, gun safety, and environment. Also: Ketanji Brown Jackson. You need to stop your B.S. about Democrats being the same as Republicans. That's ridiculous and ignorant.

Hey @lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social @maddow.bsky.social @nicollewallace.bsky.social This is how @nbcnews.com frames the lie-spewing President: "Downed aircraft complicate Trump's narrative" You need to either demand that your news division halt this gross mollycoddling, or you must quit in protest.

When MAGA tries to dismiss the "No Kings" protests with their ignorant, irrational, illogical, pathetic, ludicrous arguments, ask them this question: Why have we NEVER seen millions -- or even thousands -- of pro-Trump supporters marching in the streets? Are they all at a Kid Rock concert? 4/4 😆

Yes, we should pursue transformative change and reform. Yes, we should try to get more progressives elected. But on 3 November 2026, if the Democrat on the ticket isn't sufficiently progressive, liberals must STILL unite and #VoteBlueNOMATTERwho. Otherwise, this will be the *last* U.S. election.

Those "45%" "independents" don't necessarily vote. The only thing that matters is voters who actually vote. Here are the 2024 stats. If just 2 million progressives who whine about the DNC would just hold their nose and #VoteBlueNoMatterWho, liberals would win, even without the "independents."

To change the Senate, the Constitution must be amended. For the other issues, Congress could pass laws to reform elections. But for THAT to happen, Democrats would have to control the House, Senate, SCOTUS, and Presidency ALL AT THE SAME TIME. And that is why we ALL must vote #BLUENOMATTERWHO.
