Fight fire with fire, else you're just spectators.

So if the next Dem president is equally determined to burn the U.S. to the ground why should anyone vote for him/her?

The dial has been turned hard right, it needs a reset. When all the checks & balances - SCOTUS, free press, unbiased judiciary, congressional oversight - it requires firm action. We've all seen what this right-wing white supremacy leads to. Dems have brought a toothpick to a knife fight.

So you don’t mind a dictatorship as long as the dictator is on your side?

Franklin Roosevelt: "He may be a bastard, but he's our bastard."

Sorry - you may be willing to give up on democracy, but I think it is worth fighting for.

This particular crowd never does. They're authoritarians first, and allegedly left/progressive a distant second.

So what the fuck are you? A "moderate"?
