    Lesser evil does not exist, only evil. A small amount of acceptable evil allows an incrementally larger evil the next time. Compounded over 50 years we have our current political climate.

      That’s still not a reason to refuse to vote against the GOP. Why should we accept the worst of the worst immediately when they can be delayed?

      It’s like saying that since medicine won’t make you immortal you should just eat a bullet now and be done with it.

        How much time do you want for your progress? Liberals have been making that same demand for decades, your party will constantly provide you with things to vote against in order to keep the oligarchy, which includes them, in power.

          So, eat the bullet?

          I get that things are bad, but harm reduction is better than just bitching about the Dems.

            Demanding harm reduction instead of listening to the voters lost you the election. Do better or keep losing.

            There has been no harm reduction. Symbolic victories are all they are capable of giving the working class. The wealthy get all the economic victories. Symbolics don’t pay the bills

              Allowing Trump back into office fixed their problems how? It’s worse than ever, and worse than it would have been under Biden. Ignoring everything else he’s done, just the tarrifs and invasions have gutted the working classes through skyrocketing cost of living.

                The problem is that liberals see Trump as an anomaly and not a byproduct of the system that produces someone like him. Regardless of whether it was actually him imposing these kind of policies or someone else, it was bound to happen. Harris herself spoke vehemently about opposing Iran and defending Israel at any cost. She spoke of having the most lethal military force in the world. The only difference in the rhetoric is the person’s mouth that it’s coming out of

        There literally is no method to vote against a party.

        You’re saying people should vote for the Democrats.

      Hey, it’s the dipshit that gets downvoted on his own sub which he is the sole moderator of because he posts the dumbest comments imaginable and who bans anyone who voices a different opinion than himself because he so desperately needs his safe space to feel powerful.

      You aren’t the mod of this sub, you coward fuck.

        Presenting the poster child of why leftists say scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds.

        The only ones that get banned are ones that can’t read rules and are toxic to the community, you fit both requirements
