No, you literally didn't provide any counter arguments. You just kept saying the same old tired stuff about how a vote for a third party is a vote for republicans.
You didn't address this:
"I am, i think, making a separate argument. That is that no party is owed someone's vote. They have to earn it. If McCaskill loses to Hawley, it won't be mine or the Green Party's fault. It will be McCaskill's fault. She is running just a terrible centrist campaign in a state that just overwhelming dominated big money interest with the rejection of MO's right to work law. She has a very rocky relationship with black voters in KC, and recently black leaders in KC refused to write a letter in support of her. She is one of the richest people in Congress. No one I know here feels like she gives a fuck about their material conditions. A "blue no matter what" position will never hold anyone accountable."
You have two choices. She is by far the better choice. If you turn out a huge vote for her, you will have a seat at the table. You can start grooming her replacement from the inside. As mediocre as she is, Hawley will be far more harmful. In real life, it's often not a choice between a great person and the devil. Sometimes you have to take what you can get. Play the power game. All power understands is other power. If you don't vote or throw away you vote, you don't get to play and you lose for six years.
You didn't address this...
"You keep saying that this vote or that vote will reverse everything accomplished. Before Trump even came along, we were seeing the reversal of past gains. I don't disagree that it may set us back. I'm arguing that liberalism is wholly incapable of fighting for, winning, and sustaining the kind of change I want to see in the world. That has never been more apparent than in the failures of the Obama administration."
...Other than to say Obama is the least worst president in my life. Not exactly high praise or a convincing argument against why I think liberalism is completely insufficient to fight fascism and the power of capital.
For 100 years, we have been trying to get healthcare for more and more people covered. Obama did it. He also helped middle class and poor people afford care. But that'that's not important to you. For the first time a POTUS stood up and for and passed equal pay for equal work for women. Again, this doesn't count because he didn't EVERYTHING, it doesn't count. He fought for gay rights in the military and public. Again, it doesn't count.
You don't think about the fact that he had THE MOST OBSTRUCTIONIST Senate Majority Leader in US history. The Top 6 years of clotures happened because McConnell and Republicans thought Obama was too liberal.
You didn't answer this question:
"How do you think the Democratic party has done fighting for those same values?"
Of course they could do better, but it's no comparison between the two parties and if you don't help the lesser of the two evils, you will be left out in the cold. The more things you do to help. The more power you have. There's no way to dramatically change a country if you don't have power.
If you think you can change without playing at all, you are simply wrong.
I'm sorry that you think that was a personal attack. I didn't intend for it to be. I was attacking the idea, not you. I just abhor the idea of shaming anyone for not voting Democrat or not voting at all. It's patronizing and against the idea of self-determination.
