A lot of democrats (me also) are disgusted with our party's leadership.
An example would be when we had the House, The Senate and the Pesidency, we could not even increase the federal minimum wage thanks to Manchin and Sinema.
Of course, to stay home or 3rd party is insane.
It seems we have an extreme right wing in this country that does not believe in democracy and we have a center to right party as the alternative.
