General Discussion

If you're passionate about a new movement or candidate, fine. Volunteer, donate, work on their campaign.

Help them get into Congress first. They may not win on their first try. Keep supporting them to run again If they don't win their primary.

But, in the General Election, you have to vote your party even if the Candidate isn't your perfect vision. Especially when the opposing party candidate is a cross between Jim Jones and Hitler. I know there were Reagan Democrats and Republicans that voted for Clinton or Obama but that was different.

When the opposing Candidate is openly saying they're going to tear everything down and punish their opponents and has been openly hostile against America's allies and trading partners. When the opposing Candidate is demonstrably delusional and attracts other such people causing them to inflict violence on our fellow citizens and our law enforcement. When the opposing Candidate uses hate speech and verbally threatens members of marginalized communities. You must show up vote against them for the Candidate having the best chance of beating them. And, encourage your friends and family. Drive them to the polls to help them vote if necessary.

Encourage your associates who normally vote for the opposing party to flip or skip on their ballot. Ask them, "does this really represent you". And if it does tell them they're out of your life until they change. Don't play nice.

France, Norway, and Denmark were occupied by the Nazis during WWII. After the war the people who cooperated were ostracized. No One would help them or talk to them. We have to do that to Trumpers when this is over. Especially people who joined ICE after Trump took office.
