For sure, i’m an always-voter so i agree, but that’s an abstract point without any real world impact. If a bunch of lefties in safe dem seats don’t vote, it literally could not make a difference.
Focusing on that as if lefties are part of the reason we have trump is a) simply not true and b) provides cover for the real causes: the rich, their servants in the DNC and our non-democractic electoral system c) redirects ire against the only people with practical, popular alternatives to fascism.
The real criticism is not against non-voters it’s against people on the internet trying to sow cynicism in order to reduce turnout among those who might otherwise support a progressive cause.
