It's not an assertion. You just conveniently ignore the literal users who have a history of saying "both candidates are the same", "it doesn't matter which candidate wins" and happily promote voters staying home in roundabout ways.

We have literal users who are doing that and this has been pointed out in over several topics. Like always when pointed out, you conveniently have selective reading its happening.

This isn't the first time this has been discussed on this board, and the usual are well knows by now on making this a single issue vote.

Lastly they most definitely are virtue signalling based on all the reasons already laid out multiple times in multiple topics. The ones happily promoting left leaning voters to not vote, are objectively helping Trump. There's no dodging that. Anyone willing to not vote, telling others to note vote, or constantly spreading the great word why you may not vote, is indeed virtue signalling. As such an act is in the long run hurting the people they claim to care about far more. That includes, LGBT, abortion/women's rights, and so much more. Including their one issue cause, Palestinians and Muslims as their pro protest non vote hurts those Muslims and Palestinians here in the United States too.

So you're going to just stick to your party line then. You won't acknowledge what I'm actually saying, you refuse to grapple with what a reality that makes you uncomfortable or that you don't understand, you'll redefine words to mean what you want/need them to mean.

That's very disappointing and I hope actual Democratic strategists are better than you. It doesn't seem like it though, judging by the establishment responses I've seen lately. I'll continue to hope the people with their heads on straight, with moral courage, can convince those in power to change their ways before it's too late and that this genocide agnostic, dissent crushing stance doesn't permanently poison the reputation of the Democratic party among young people.
