    Except he’s not the lesser of two evils. What a braindead take.

    If you have to eat brocoli or asparagus, you can whine about lesser of two, but when one guy is LITERARILY trying to overthrow democracy and is actively calling for a dictatorship you are NOT choosing between the lesser of two evils.

    You’re choosing between broccoli and Ebola infested diarrhea.

    When Republicans stop being INSANE we can go back to the bOtH sIdEs / lesser of two evils circlejerck, until then stop this muddying of waters bullshit.

    The two options aren’t similar or even in the same stratosphere.

        Im not sure that’s a real person, all these overly hostile if you dont vote biden you’re as evil as trump posts only serve to try dissuade votes for Biden. It’s the kind of noise that helps break down any cohesion between those who are anti-trump.

      The difference here is that for leftists, liberalism is still evil, just that fascism is far more so. Biden would still be considered the lesser of two evils in that instance.

      Talking down to leftists as though their complaints are illegitimate and pushing a narrative that “Biden is good, actually” just furthers voter apathy, the correct way to engage with leftists is to point out how voting as a leftist is loss prevention. Because voting will never move America to the left, leftists must work on the ground to build grassroots movements, unionize, organize, protest, and more, while voting Democrat to keep fascists out of office.

      Telling clearly passionate people that their criticisms are invalid and that their problems don’t matter is an extremely privledged position to hold. For many people, the status quo itself is bad. People can’t afford to just vote Democrat, they already can’t afford many necessities and are already being targeted by fascists.

      You’re choosing between broccoli and Ebola infested diarrhea.

      If you saw, “Broccoli: better than Ebola infested diarrhea! - Brought to you by the Broccoli Growers of America,” you would say that their messaging needed work.
