I don't deny that "Lesser evil" isn't the most desirable outcome, but the fact that people have to be convinced to vote against their own destruction is... distressing to say the least.

Have you met humans at all? Watch the documentary, "Don't Look Up" and get back to me.

You realize these topics aren't made to recruit people right? It's like ranting on a group chat, you don't intend to win the hearts of millions. It's just ranting.

It's ranting that has learned nothing. It's infuriating.

It's never "Give us power for nothing". It's "Please stop the greater evil from destroying everything so we can get the things we all want".

And deeply stupid people responding "Yeah, but you're not perfect so why should I?".

Then complaining when the greater evil wins because they stepped aside and did nothing.

Those non voters holding out for a more progressive candidate are now finding out what happens when one candidate says they want to strip away rights, the other says they don't, and they stay home because of a flaw shared by both parties.

But at least when women no longer have the rights to their own body, the fencesitter can proudly shout that they... taught someone a lesson or something?

It is not their job to save anyone, particularly the Democratic party. You can say, "take what you don't want because it's better than what you also don't want" and people will walk away. We have seen this. Arguing that they shouldn't is just flying in the face of demonstrated reality.
