        Of course he is.

        He’s not the bar we need to rate everybody against, though. Being better than Trump is not enough. Let’s hold our government to reasonable standards.

          That’s the problem with the first-past-the-post voting system. It necessarily limits you to two choices, which frequently means you’re merely picking the one you dislike least.

            Abd the problem with the Democratic Party is that they take advantage of this.

              Indeed.

              When the fascists have been driven out of the public sphere, we’re going to have to do something about that.

                Democrats have no interest in driving the fascists from the public sphere. Without fascists, what would Democrats threaten us with every time we want better?

                  I have an interest in driving out the fascists from the public sphere. The best way to do that is to marginalize them as much as possible.

                  They control the Republican party, so the Republican party must end. And the best way to do that right now is to boost their most viable challenger.

          That requires a bar to hold the democrats too, and right now that bar is dolled up in orange spray paint and lieing on the floor somewhere. The issue for the modern america is to resolve the spoiler effect. Without a third party there is no “voting in favor” of someone there is “voting against” someone else.
