The "Vote Blue No Matter Who" movement is a perfect example of the problems currently present in our political system. By "voting blue no matter who," you are essentially giving permission and consent to the Democratic Party to rig elections to favor candidates that are not in the best interest of the American people. You're telling them that as long as the Republicans keep putting out their horrible candidates, you will vote for a Democrat no matter how horrible THEY are in order to prevent a Republican from becoming President. Well, guess what: If you elect a corporatist Democrat (basically any of them, save for a few exceptions), the failure of that presidency due to his or her support for neoliberal policies will not be blamed on the corporatist president’s support for neoliberalism. The Democratic Party will the the recipient of criticism from the American people because they will now equate neoliberal failures with “progressivism” due to that president calling him or herself a progressive, when in reality she or he is not.
This is what happened with Barack Obama, another corporatist: He supports the TPP, he does not support single payer healthcare, and he has deported more individuals and families than any previous president! But, of course, Republicans will paint GOP-lite Obama as a "progressive" in order to make Bernie Sanders seem like some sort of radical, un-American revolutionary, when in reality, he is a centrist when placed on a global political scale . This, in turn, pushes our nation further and further to the right and has lead to the rise of Donald Trump.
I am done "voting blue." I am done with the Democratic Party. I am done pretending that Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and other leading figures of the Democratic Party have the best interests of anyone but their corporate masters. You can promise “hope & change.” You can preach about "building upon progress." But you're just the embodiment of everything the American people should detest and seek to destroy.
