    Yeah my response is don’t fucking devote all your attention and emotion to how the other dude is worse.

    I can’t get rid of him if I vote and yet 75% of the country doesn’t.

    You can’t just run a dead fish and keep pointing at the hills saying there is a wolf coming any minute now so buy my dead fish. Eventually people stop believing the kid crying wolf and everyone gets eaten.

    Passive tactics that keep you feeling comfortable are just hospice for a democracy you don’t care about anymore. That is on you and your kind for why I feel defeated.

    Edit: the Democrats suck because it’s the only part we as a party should have any influence over and they haven’t listened to constituents in a few decades. Democrat voters can’t pick the Republican nominee we can only pick who goes up against them and we haven’t for over 3 elections now.

      Deal with the fascist first. Deal with the party after.

      That isn’t very hard to figure out.

        And how many times will we have to keep dealing with the fascist before realizing dealing with the party will help deal with the fascists?

        Cause this won’t end in 4 years if Biden wins he will just be unable to run again.

        It seems to be going over your head that doing nothing but kicking the can down the road doesn’t deal with any problem at all.

          Ah, see…that’s where you’ve gone wrong. There is no “finish line”. There is no hands-off autopilot for human society. It’s a never-ending slog against all those people who want to game or corrupt the system for their own uses - which is almost always power or money, but often enough just to wreck everything because they want to watch the world burn.

          Do you understand that?

          There are only temporary victories that are immediately followed by trying to keep building the infrastructure supporting the greater good (as difficult as that can be) against those who want to tear it down by any means necessary.

          It doesn’t end.

            Oh sorry I didn’t realize you were upper class white liberal who’s plan is do nothing at all because it’s easier.

            You are somehow advocating for trying and getting a victory and also not doing anything but accepting things as they are.

            So impressed by your own sense of order and doing things “right” that you would be on the side telling protestors asking for equal rights to just wait it out a little longer. You are part of the problem. Not a solution.
