I mean, yeah, until the revolution is televised you can only choose the least evil.
And the margin between greatest and least evil will continue to narrow.
Yet it is still prudent to vote for the least one.
Not if the centrists can yank endorsements from popular progressives. It, worse still, actively collaborate with fascists to remove them.
Choosing between Hitler and Himmler is no choice
Sorry but calling Republicans and Democrats Hitler and Himmler is not reflective of reality and honestly pretty deranged. There is a choice, and it's clear which is more damaging.
When to parties endorse the same Holocaust? What other parallel am I supposed to draw?
Maybe Naftali Bennett and Benjamin Netanyahu?
The difference between conservative Republicans and liberal Democrats is that Democrats are "civil" to Republican elites and Republicans don't return the favor.
For everyone else, it's the same boot on your neck. The same wars overseas. The same prisons at home. The same police getting another big pay increase to harass homeless people. The same bailouts for banks and the tech sector.
Dems couldn't even close the torture prison at Guantanamo Bay. They just had to keep brutalizing people, indefinitely.
Until centrists get their way and there is no margin.
okay well when both sides are literally exactly the same, then we can protest vote
Have fun chasing fascists to the right until then.
of course fascists go to the right, what kind of nonsense is that? Democrats are still the best option
Democrats keep chasing fascists as they sprint to the right. And they're moving to the right faster than the fascists because the gap keeps narrowing.
