The message isn’t “Democrats cannot be trusted to represent our interests, they are our opposition to radical change……” it’s “Nobody within our government gives a shit about our interests.”

Even that message is confused by following it with "but we must vote for them anyway". Either the system is broken and we must rebel, or the system can be mitigated by dutiful participation. There's no middle ground where we can minimize the decent into enslavement by biding our time until the revolution comes.

So please, tell me who I should actually vote for for president in the coming years

Vote for whoever the fuck you want. You wont change anything by voting for liberals, because liberals will increasingly lose regardless because people are that much more apathetic about them every cycle. If you want to prevent republicans from tearing everything down, then don't waste your time with lesser-evil bullshit. Spend that time agitating other liberals - make them see how complacently participating in a system that enslaves them only serves to ensure it will always enslave them. The only candidates worth voting for are those that the democratic establishment actively opposes.

By all means, vote for your favorite benevolent fascist. Just stop pretending like the strategy is to quietly comply with democratic obstruction until exactly the right moment when we all suddenly stand up and rebel against them, while simultaneously complaining about how leftist candidates just aren't popular because none of these liberals ever vote for them (see how circular this bullshit is?). That isn't how leftist organizing works. We gain momentum by showing how broken liberalism is, and we can't do that if we're sheep-dogging other leftists into committing themselves for the shitlib du jour 3 years in advance. Democrats get our vote only if the represent our interests. full-stop

You might think of yourself as a leftist, but from where i'm sitting you're just a liberal in denial.
