    Red team actively wants my friends to die, blue team just passively doesn’t care if they die. Shitty choice, sure. Hard one, not so much.

    Organize at the lower levels, where real change happens, but when it comes to major elections, vote for harm reduction instead of allowing the worst

      Or do what Michigan did and use your vote to demand change you want to see. Siding with “less evil” is still siding with evil. Demand change.

        You mean organize at the lower level to push for change, exactly like I said you should?

          Only after you trivialized the way Democrats have treated people at the border for decades, how they’ve refused to codify protection for women in law for equal rights or abortion, how they’re willing to bomb foreign countries just as indiscriminately as Republicans. And outed yourself for not having friends in those groups.

          But yes, organizing locally is fundamental.

            God, you must live so separate from reality to claim this.

            Texas is forming hunting parties to shoot migrants and you are worried about neoliberals half assing representation for minorities.

              You realize the Democrats just tried to pass the Republican immigration plan, right?

                It was highly demanded by the majority of voters and was a bargaining tool to approve funds to defend Ukraine.

                This is exactly the kind of contextless bullshit that Republicans win elections on.

                  Oh, that makes it better. As long as it’s to bargain for the smallest bit of help for Ukraine while we let Gaza burn and the collateral is migrants fleeing record violence. What a genius bargaining tool.

                  Republicans win on Democrats expecting people to fall in line. Michigan proved if people didn’t suck and lick boots daily, they might actually make a difference.

                  Your comment shows what is meant by “my friends” above. White Europeans? Friends. South Americans? Bargaining chips. Repulsive stuff.
