Being able to say "I'm not going to vote if there is no progressive candidate, I don't care if republicans win again" must be nice when you're not the one being actively hunted down by ICE. But hey, at least you'll have a good view at immigrants being detained and sent to another alligator alcatraz from your high horse.
Being able to vote blue no matter who and going back to brunch with the only change being LGBT flavoured concentration camps and bombs going to to Israel must be nice. Blue MAGA mindset is disgusting
So you'll choose the greater of two evils then? You'd knowingly inflict more suffering on more people so you can maintain some sense of moral superiority?
Or are you a plant, here to intentionally discourage people from choosing the lesser of two evils and lesson overall suffering?
Because, let's be honest, there not a whole lot USians can actually do in the face of their government. Actually standing up to, and fighting the government which would be the actually best thing, is absolutely terrifying to the average person.
The Democrats are already guilty of genocide, both parties are the greater evil. Why is it not even an option to try and push the Democrats slightly to the left of fascism?
No matter how you spin there's an obvious worse option because the alternative (including resigning to vote) includes that and more.
Obviously there should be a straight up better option that doesn't include that but you've gotta pick the best option out of those you're dealt. A small step towards good, even if just a side step is better than leaping head first into the maw of evil. Something your votes do give you some agency over.
That and more being shown in the media
The actual imperial policy doesn't change.
This is written as if you're trying to imply the other party is offering to dismantle ICE.
ICE concentration camps but with pride flags attached ๐
