The implication being “what’s the point if you’re just choosing which boot?”
But like… that really actually matters. They’re never going to be on your side. So take the opportunity to choose your opponent. Make it a favorable matchup.
For a few years, and in the meantime, by consistently choosing the “lesser evil”, you ensure there is no political organization in power that stands in opposition to capitalism and you push the Overton window rightward. So they never actually attack the fundamental problems because it goes against their ideology, things continue to get worse, and the public starts looking rightward for a solution because there is no left option.
The Democrats moving rightward is a documented fact but even with that pattern, people are still like “just vote blue”. Trump was elected in reaction toward Obama, whose greatest achievement was a Heritage Foundation based health care plan. Now, a Heritage Foundation policy becomes lumped with “leftism”. Clinton embraced neoliberalism following Reagan. Etc etc
By not offering a real alternative (and every leftist org was already on the right side of social issues so not sure why people champion Dems on these. Jfc, dems took until like 2012 to “evolve” on most of them) to neoliberal capitalism, then fascist populism starts looking more appealing to parts of the public.

That’s right, the color and texture of the boot matters. You shouldn’t let these important decisions be made by someone else.
I’ll take the boot without a heel, those things would be sharp on my face.
You don’t get a choice when it comes to anything except color and texture. Now shit the fuck up and vote for the blue boot.
What is favorable about Democrats’ genocide?
Here, I’ll pre-emptively boil down any answers you recieve to their chemical baseline:
“The fact that it isn’t happening to me”
Opponent implies one actually does something to oppose them.
