I still say eff the Democrats. They suck, and they will probably lose. I hate our two-party system. We get a choice between mediocre and unconscionable.
And I still say your "eff the Democrats" stance is utterly meaningless because you'll be giving them your vote anyway. No boycott from you!
Honestly your binary thinking is on display. You present a vote or no vote via boycott position. Where Kish already stated this:
We get a choice between mediocre and unconscionable.
So his intention is to vote against unconscionable.
He is not alone in that regard. That's why so many Republicans are planning to vote Democrat this year. Independents as well.

I am probably projecting in that my issues with the DNC currently are about transparency and realpolitik gamesmanship, less about policies. So I was curious about if or where you diverge with the Democrats on policy.
I would say that my priorities align more with Bernie Sanders'. They did all the way back in 2015. I support equal rights and prefer living in a diverse world in which various groups are not cynically demonized for political purposes, but I do not like either party's approach to identity politics. Economic fairness is a bigger priority for me.
"I have learned with what evils tyranny infects a state. For it frustrates all the virtues, robs freedom of its lofty mood, and opens a school of fawning and terror, inasmuch as it leaves matters not to the wisdom of the laws, but to the angry whim of those who are in authority.”
