Your abstain or 3rd party vote does nothing to "move the Dems to the left" when in reality you are removing them from power to give it to Trump

If there's enough of us that it could seriously endanger the elections for the Dems, their analysts likely know this already and have no choice but to consider concessions to try to regain some of those votes, therefore we do have power.

More likely, we just don't have enough to move the needle, and therefore all this hand wringing is a waste of breath.

Maybe next election people will realize we can't move the Dems left by unwaveringly voting for them every single election, we have to hold them to account. Otherwise this shitty cycle of choosing the "less bad option" every election because it's an emergency will not ever end. It is in the Dem's interest that it does not.
