minus-squareInternetCitizen2@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6arrow-down2·13 days agoNo, but more importantly not every election is going to have a progressive on the ballot. Voting for a progressive is what we should do. Voting blue is only when progressive isn’t an option and we need to minimize harm.
