Yeah, politicians are often disappointing. C'est la vie. If you have a viable progressive vs a liberal or conservative, vote for the progressive. If it's a showdown between the liberal or conservative, vote for the liberal. Why? Because the liberal will do way less damage. Wake up and grow up.
“Disappointing”? How to say you’re an ‘I’m alright Jack’ without saying “I’m alright Jack”. I’m middle aged, grow up yourself. They’re coming for you too, give them time.
You've had decades and decades on this Earth and still haven't figured out that it is morally valid if not morally responsible to vote for 50% evil over 100% evil? I'm the one who's being selfish here?
You. You are. I gave decade’s to doing exactly what you suggest and look where we are. Learn from my mistake. You are choosing evil. Not less evil. We get more evil every cycle.
Come back to me in 20 years of your lesser evil dreams and we’ll talk about how it’s going. If the world still exists that is.
There is evil in every political system and in every politician, and this is the way it will be, possibly forever. The question is, how do we mitigate it in a way that is feasible and practicable? Who will do by far the least amount of evil? And that's an easy answer: the Democrats.
Mitigate it for who? They literally lead the US to where it is right now. Obama to Trump 1.0 with his faux progressive posturing, and Harris to Trump 2.0 with her campaigning with the fucking Cheney’s and on having “the most lethal military in the world”. Geezus wake tf up.
No, they don't. Putting the blame for the current conditions on the Democrats is highly reductive. It's not their fault that many American leftists refuse to participate in the legitimate and important "ABC" (anybody but conservative) voting strategy.
