I'd rather vote for the party that's 85% nazi than 100%. And in a world where it's entirely unrealistic that anyone else can win between past-the-post voting and voter disenfranchisement, that's the best we're getting.
This was a meme like 6 years ago, that we'd get to the point that US democrats would accept a candidate that's 99% pro-genocide compared to the 100% republican one. It's worked, and now democrats are falling over themselves to defend this genocide and their party's staunch material support for it.
Keep voting tho, its working great so far. The USA keeps improving by doing the same thing over and over again. /s
holy shit they're actually doing the 99% hitler meme now, this country is cooked
oh to be clear. I know the democrats are doing terrible things, I just think it's easier and more practical to get them to stop than it is to keep them out of office.
Yeah good luck with that buddy that's definitely been effective in the past and totally isn't more of what got us here in the first place and isn't actively undermined by the current protests going on and the presidency being at stake for them and their policies still not budging or their voters' demands even being acknowledged.
Dude. Sentences are useful.
eh. Not my style.
