Don't the Democrats have a candidate that can beat Trump? You can't just prop up someone then rely on shaming people not to vote for the other guy as a strategy. Give us someone we can be positive about. Deal with problems that people actually care about like crime, gas prices, inflation, and other real things. Also, quit with the Six Degrees Of White Supremacy crap. I saw Gavin Newsom and Terry Mcauliffe trying to get in on the racial division fun and it wasn't a good look for them.
Out of all the things wrong with this country your main issues you put priority on are crime, gas prices, and inflation?... That's kind of weird. Even more so to think most everyday people would prioritize those over things like health care, education, preventing environmental disaster, corruption and money in politics, of just having a job that pays a living wage with good benefits, the latter of those which greatly mitigates all three of your mentioned concerns anyhow. Not that those issues don't matter, but they aren't at the top of my priority. Crime is still historically low all things considered. It's even weirder still that Republicans complain about inflation, but also fail to want to do one of the things that would alleviate that the most by making the supply chain more functional again and to do that they need to want to get covid under control. They don't.
It's sort of like having one's main priority be getting the ice cream out of the freezer to take with you when you notice your house is on fire.
As far as racial division stuff goes, maybe just maybe people that don't want to be demonized should quit acting like demons. Politicians can't walk like a racist, swim like a racist, and quack like a racist and then bitch that people call a spade a spade. It's almost like when minorities are purposely marginalized, scapegoated by demagogues, keep poor, or just have voting be made ever more difficult because people are scared of them having influence over others as demographics change there is some actual racial elements to that.
I'll agree with you that too many Democrats go after the low hanging stuff with cultural war issues without also having substantive stances they will fight for that will actually help the livelihoods for normal everyday people. Probably because many don't actually give a shit about the masses. I'm however not going to go with an even greater evil to spite corrupt Democrats. If I have to I will vote for a third party or not vote at all before it comes to that.
