I'm not a liberal, I'm anti-capitalist.
And also I'm correct, every election is like groundhogs day, like being trapped in a time loop, where leftists go:
"The lesser of two evils is still evil, I'm going to keep my hands clean".
"Voting doesn't work, because you can't fix an inherently flawed system from within the system."
"Voting is just part of the system of oppression by keeping people complacent from making real changes."
In my memory this anti-voting/vote boycotting goes back at least to 2000 Bush/Gore.
Now let's say I'm completely wrong, let's say I'm crazy and I just made that all up in my head. Let's say that leftists have always been enthusiastic participators in American democracy, and 2024 was the first ever leftist election boycott.
Now from 2025 to 2028, is the overton window moving left, or right? Will the 2028 election be to the left of 2024, or will 2028 be to the right of 2024?
I'm dead serious willing to bet $500 that 2028 will be to the right of 2024. The overton window is still moving right.
So did my original statement even matter? Either way leftist election boycotts are moving the overton window right, whether it started in 2000, or 2024.
The only question is, how many election boycotts have to fail at doing what leftists want until leftists suddenly become aware they are poking the stick in their own bicycle wheel?
