From the article: [emphasis mine]
It’s even clearer in the US, where Republicans have had remarkable success mobilizing resentment against school teachers, or auto workers (and not, significantly, against the school administrators or auto industry managers who actually cause the problems) for their supposedly bloated wages and benefits. It’s as if they are being told “but you get to teach children! Or make cars! You get to have real jobs! And on top of that you have the nerve to also expect middle-class pensions and health care?”
Remember everyone…
Democrats and Republicans are exactly the same… exactly the same…
It’s worth throwing a vote away (along with long-term, critical thinking) to usher in more Republicans with a little protest vote for a candidate that has no chance in hell in winning (or by not voting at all). It’s worked out fantastic so far, huh?
Or maybe it’s time to vote in lesser evil consistently for a couple of decades to lessen the damage that’s been done already?
Still wonder how Democrats became Republicans? Look in the mirror. 
When the American public is inconsistent and votes in Republicans (either directly or indirectly), many Democratic politicians surmise they need to shift increasingly to the right in order to win seats. By not supporting lesser evil Democrats, we send a message loud and clear to others that they need to shift to the right in order to make a greater impact (to win or stay in office at all).
If we would have consistently voted in lesser evil Democrats all these years, even the Republican party would have shifted more the left by now. Instead, here we are with an infestation of DINOs and Blue Dog Democrats as the barely lesser evil and a Republican party that’s so far to the right, that they’re dangerously unhinged.
We’ve allowed greater evil to become entrenched in our government by our own inconsistency. And, because of this egregious mistake it’s now going to take (literally) decades of consistently voting in lesser evil before there’s even a small hope of a feasible third party candidate that has a chance in hell of winning.
The first step in solving a problem is admitting you have a problem. Stop using false equivalency when judging between parties and candidates. They LOVE it when you do that.
