I mean, we've been shooting ourselves in the foot by consolidating the power in two parties as the inevitable result of clinging to a fptp voting system, resulting in a voting schema that demands pragmatism and labels anything less as virtue signaling. Be angry at the people giving shit choices

You can't argue with these folks. They were very comfortable while our country funded genocide elsewhere, because the democratic party made sure that they were, so they don't want to face that their shining star Biden was actually also a piece of sh1t. Trump just cares less about hiding his fascism

Utter false equivalence. You are condoning a coup and the end of democracy. You are complicit.

Where am I condoning trump's coup and the end of democracy? I encourage reading the words and not what you want to be between them. imaginative thinking like yours is carrying you away with a false narrative

Refusing to lend support to the party who would have prevented it happening amounts to condoning the resulting outcome. Those who boycotted the Dems over Gaza simply allowed Trump back in, to do MUCH worse, to many more people, including Palestinians. People need to re-align their priorities.

So you are in fact admitting that we were and are being forced to choose between two poor choices because neither of the choices we had were good?

I already said that. It's called the necessary lesser of two evils. But at least one party respects democracy and the constitution, and were not wanting to turn Gaza into a whites-only casino resort owned by an orange Nazi. Look where your principles have got you now 👏 nypost.com/2025/02/26/w...

So get mad at the party putting forth a lesser evil instead of choosing a better candidate my guy. No one is owed a vote, and expecting people to give one because it's pragmatic is why nothing fucking changes The Dems only "respect' democracy here btw, not in Gaza

Except things DO change, and definitely for the worse, when you allow Fascists to take over and install a dictatorship, all because some people clutched their pearls about Dems not being perfect. "Not perfect" is better than effing Fascist. I hope it was worth to for you.

The take it up with the party that felt it was more important to tacitly support a genocide than fight fascism with a decent candidate. Seriously, the onus of appealing to voters is on them.

Yes, the system might be broken & unfit for purpose, but in a battle for survival, unpalatable choices always have to be made. To change things, you first need a functional democracy in order to have a voice and a vote. Whingeing after letting Fascists take control gets you nowhere, except prison.
