I wish I shared your optimism. The last 20 years have showed us if anything, leftist and centrists will not show up at the polls or split the vote on third parties. The reason conservatives can be so unpopular nationally but still be in office for decades at a time is because their base shows up when the polls are open. So until the left figures out how to actually vote nothing is going to change, despite the current administration literally running concentration camps and oppression any group that isn’t straight white men.
I vote in every election and I believe everyone should, but I also understand that millions and millions of people on the left have yet to see a candidate that actually represents them.

It’s puff up my optimism or lose my shit on a daily basis.
