    It’s a shame so many people are straight brainwashed into thinking ‘this is good enough’ and my favorite ‘it could be worse’ as a justification for ignoring problems.

      It’s like the frequent misuse of “it is what it is”

      That’s not meant to be an excuse for not fixing anything. It was something you said to someone who you agreed with that there was an issue, but didn’t want to go thru the whole discussion for a 100th time about how bad shit is.

      That steps accomplished, people know shits bad.

      What the phrase really meant originally was:

      It is what it is, so how about we talk about a plausible way to change it.

      Like before Biden dropped out and people responded to any criticism of Biden by saying Trump was worse.

      We knew that, but because Trump was so bad we needed to do what we could to stop him from winning, which was Biden stepping down.

      To do more we talk about positives of Kamala being president. trump being a dangerous piece of shit has been covered, repeating it ain’t going to change anyone’s minds.

        Or, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”

        Brother… it IS broken for many.
