The right doesn’t have a problem with people refusing to vote for right-wing politicians because they want to punish them for not being right-wing enough.

Meanwhile the far-left goes on and on about how voting is pointless and you’re a lib if you think voting can effect change, and then expect you to be insulted by that term

I think the far left is too perfectionist. They want some sort of mythical candidate that will check all the boxes and somehow still be electable in a general election, but that person isn’t coming. Meanwhile, the Right usually rallies the wagon around whichever sad sack-of-shit they’ve found. You’re not going to get who you want every time and you’re not going to get the change you want everytime. It’s about setting the conditions for that change to come that’s important, otherwise you’re just handing the initiative to the Right to make the change that they want.

Not wanting your candidate to arm a genocide is perfectionist?

It’s not productive to label everyone who thinks the masses should hold power as “far left”. Unless you believe only the betters of humanity can make decisions and anyone getting the shaft should only grin and bare it.
