Remember guys, both sides are the same. We should probably vote third party or something. /S
Remember, the lesser-evil is still evil and democrats did nothing to enshrine abortion rights in the constitution.
Democrats love this because it means they don't have to improve.
Yes, let's go die of exposure because there's a hole in the roof. Throw the whole house away just because there's glaring issues with it when there's no other viable choice in the vicinity.
What level of analogy do you need to understand that if you abandon the power you do have (ie minute nudge control of democratic establishment) you become irrelevant due to powerlessness?
To change what's acceptable, you shift what's considered acceptable, nip at the bits that are trying to stay with the old status quo, and repeat until you move the window to wherever you're trying to push it. That's how this works (if the window goes left for democrats, you would call that an "improvement"). Revolution is anomalous. Pushing for revolution and depending on the assumption of it happening leads to total powerlessness, which is less than what lefties have right now (right now I'd only call them mostly powerless).
You can't get away from dealing with the devil when Satan created the whole system in the first place.
