This fact doesn't really invalidate the initial statement though.

We would not be experiencing what we are currently experiencing presently if the Dems won. This isn't an endorsement of the Dems, just reality

I view voting as a means to steer us to possibilities. Revolution and change won't come through the ballot box but who gets voted in can influence that one way or another.

The thing about a party that does nothing but maintain the status quo is they will never make things better.

I don't think it's healthy to feel morally superior for preventing progress.

But that is literally superior to making things worse. It's not about feeling anything, it's about outcomes.
