It's not just for this reason. The GOP's faults are manifold, but they are not forgiving student loans, promoting insane green energy programs that will weaken our nation and drive up energy prices WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING TO DECREASE GLOBAL WARMNING (*this is based on the numbers in the UN climate report, not some right wing website), or promoting the scourge of identity politics. I could go on and on. These are things that exist or would exist in our laws/policies if Democrats had their way. If you are in a safe district/state and want to register a protest vote, fine. Otherwise, vote Republican even if you have to hold your nose while doing so.

I guess I’d ask you, at what point does acquiescence become complicity to you?

We had both houses of congress and the presidency in Trump’s first 2 years. Name for me any conservative policy that was enacted, that Trump didn’t do by fiat?

Did we repeal Obamacare?

Did we build a physical barrier to slow down the invasion from the south?

Did we spend less money?

Did we make the government smaller, less powerful, or less corrupt?

Did we do anything at all to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution, as written, from infringements, usurpations, and violations?

You can, of course, point to things that the GOP has failed on, but elections provide a choice, not a fantasy. Obamacare would not exist if the GOP had been in control. The GOP may spend far too much but we KNOW from recent legislation and (thankfully) failed attempts at litigation that Democrats would spend even more. The border may not have been secure under GOP rule but it was nothing like the free for all crisis we have now under Biden. Choosing the best available option does not make you “complicit.” It makes you a grownup.
