The far-left people actively saying "Don't vote for Dem" making an easier win for Trump are probably the most stupid people of the bunch.

Revolution is not happening anytime soon, meanwhile let's do something with what we have.

Arguably Revolution would be closer with Trump in office…

Not much of an argument to vote for trump but unfortunately probably true.

I like the sentiment and suggest taking it a step further.

If they aren't starting at the local level then they aren't serious about the national level regardless of when they start discussing the next election.

People talk about it all the time. Ron Paul was a household name. People we're talking about RFK JR a year ago. People were talking about 3rd parties due to Biden's stance on Palestine. People were talking about it after that first debate. All that's fine, but it only makes the two main parties sweat within 30 days of election. That's when all the "throwing your vote away" rhetoric ramps up.

Rather than doing better, working harder, or standing on better policy to turn out the 35% of people who don't vote, it's easier to vilify 1% of the people who do. That's a problem.
