So when I'm voting, I am trying to vote off the least, most horrible outcome, not just for my own

sake, but for the sake of the most vulnerable people in our society, to give people a chance.

I mean, that's basically the differences. You know,

I think that the Democrats have been a disaster. Like, I'm very unenthusiastic about them right now.

I do think, though, that they have on occasion, they respond to pressure. They often respond

by bitching us out. But sometimes they respond by doing the right thing. And there are more people,

you know, within the Democratic Party, including elected officials who genuinely do want to do the right

thing and who are working hard. And they're stymied by terrible leadership. And so my advice is,

you know, vote in the national elections, vote in the state elections, vote in your local elections and vote in

your primaries and try to get the best person in there. You know, you see all these really

awful dark money groups trying to chase out progressive Democrats, trying to basically put in

Republicans, you know, with a Democratic veneer into those positions. And it's because they're

afraid of this growing progressive movement. And we need to stand up to that. We need to have a system

where our votes matter, our rights matter, our beliefs matter. And we have true representation.

And checking out of things all together is not going to bring that about. And I completely

understand, you know, the revulsion, quite honestly, you know, I feel at certain times,

or I'm forced to vote for somebody who I truly dislike only because I hate the other person

and think that there's so much more dangerous. You know, it's not inspiring,

but it is one day of your life. It's a very, you know, good cost benefit analysis. And again,

I hate to say it. They don't care about your vengeance. They don't care about your absence.

They're going to browbeat you no matter what. You might as well stand up for the people that you think potentially could do good or who are genuinely doing good and show your support and speak your mind and treasure that right

to vote because they do want to take it away.
