Casting a protest vote is a futile, self-indulgent exercise of privilege. It is premised on the assumption that the most important factor in an election is how it makes you feel, and the worship of ideological purity over other people’s rights and well-being

Hanna, we “privileged” are part of the same hypocrisy so can we at least agree that we have the same baseline and drop that term? I won’t rehash the laundry list of injustices the Democratic Party has become accustomed to and sometimes endorsed because they’ve already been enumerated so well by other Sanders supporters. Our apathy and actions are killing people all over the world, including here. I’m willing to go to the mat right now to stop this. If that’s “ideological purity” then so be it. Otherwise, little by little, we are being turned in to sociopaths.
