Moral relativism is a trap. You end up supporting evil things; all they have to do is show you a slightly more evil thing. That's how the ruling class tricks people into voting Democrat, all they had to do was show everyone a Republican.

You mention several things: enshittification, data-collection, pollution, lock-in... What you don't mention is worst part: all capitalists/corporations are thiefs, they get a free ride off the backs of people who actually do the work. There's a reason it's called "wage slavery".

Also the reverse. There are plenty of aspects of the Democrat party that are appalling to independent voters.

At the end of the day Democrats and Republicans are relatively ossified, it's the independent voters that are in play.

Long term, it's the teenagers who are really in play. The events that impact each generation as they transition into adulthood will impact their political views for the rest of their lives.

To a point, but it’s not unheard of for their political views to change quickly once they start paying taxes and have a family to take care of.
