How is that not objectively better than a leap backwards?
Which is great if you're not one of the victims of the barbarism I guess. Personally, I don't have the stomach to sacrifice others for political gain.
They said as they bemoaned people not being willing to vote for a genocidal fascist (who probably wouldn't increase the price of gas as much).
Seems like you're very comfortable with sacrificing others for political nothing though.
A genocidal fascist was going to win either way. This one seemed more genocidal from the outset, and the last two years corroborates that.
It's not about the people who would have suffered either way, I can't presently do anything about that but I'm trying. It's about all the extra people who are suffering now: immigrants in death camps, victims of slashed social programs, the dead Iranians on the other side of that expensive gas.
I can't save Palestine right now. I lack the leverage. But I could've helped save many of the others, and you could've too. It works better together. Don't get distracted by the horrors you can't fix, focus on the ones where you can at least slow the bleeding
