“Everybody I’ve spoken to loves the idea of the United States owning that piece of land, developing and creating thousands of jobs with something that will be magnificent,” Trump told reporters after a three-hour meeting with Netanyahu. "
The vanity of not choosing a lesser evil.
All the clutched straws of misapplied “false dichotomy”, “showing the democrats that they must change”, etc are just intellectual dishonesty. It’s actively and knowingly choosing a greater evil by not flipping the lever in a real life trolley problem.
Some people don’t seem to understand, even in a situation where there are two evils, choosing the lesser evil is always beneficial. Politics is not just something you can boycott and cover your eyes from. It governs your life, so you have all to gain from participating in it and educating yourself about it, no matter which side you ultimately lie upon.
Exactly.
It was an opportunity to pick who would be in power for them to fight for improvement.
If they effectively meant what they claim, they’d push with heart and soul to get the lesser evil in poer and then immediately fight them tooth and nail for positive change.
“We need to fight for change. I prefer my opponent to devolve into oppressive fascism first, please.”
Oh but if kamala wanted to change her ways they’d have done it before or during the election /s
It’s not like they’d have been scared of being labelled an anti semite, like what happened to corbyn when he started critiquing israel 10 years ago.
