    That’s assuming green party voters would vote for the dems, which probably isn’t the case. They’d be more likely to just not vote.

      That could mean that 60% of the US leans green.

      Or they’re just apathetic and attaching a social meaning to their apathy feels good.

      I’m not sure I agree with that estimation, but even then I’d say that the majority of Green Party voters who would decide to vote anyways would probably vote Dem over GOP, and that still matters.

      Because only one of those parties is trying to deny me basic human rights, I can’t say I’m sympathetic to anyone who would choose not to vote out of spite just because they don’t personally have as much at stake.

          I remember when the Dems repealed roe v Wade.

          Oh wait that was trump and the GOP. My mistake.

          I was definitely there when the dems tried to ban music based on it’s offensive nature.

          Oh wait that was Reagan and the GOP. My mistake.

          I was there when the Dems banned foreign travelers based on nationality.

          Oh wait that was trump and the GOP. My mistake.
