So, voting for the lesser of two evils doesn't work. We've done that for 50 years, and all it's achieved is a political duopoly that's so far to the right that Democrats are now where Republicans were. How does your political strategy of voting for right-wingers change that?
Is all you have to offer "slow the slide into fascism marginally until the general public acclimates to fascism"? Because that's what the lesser of two evils gets us.
You just said a lot of things that are wrong in a very short amount of time, try to fact check yourself instead of spreading FUD and misinformation.
This is the only thing I'm going to correct, you can fix yourself on the rest:
No we haven't. We vote for the lesser of two evils every other election or so, then get butt hurt and stop voting because Clinton's emails, or because Gore is boring, or some other dumbass reason like that.
No one's spreading "FUD", I'm quite certain that less evil Democrats have not stopped our slide into fascism because I've witnessed it. We're living the results of your strategy right now at this very moment. Does it feel like you're "slowly winning"?
It sure fucking did til people like you landed us trump
That was Clinton and the DNC who gave you Trump, not the voters.
Biden isnt to blame for gaza, but you still hate him for not doing all he can to stop untold suffering
Same thing here, but voting is a lot simpler, and a lot less negative consiquences for the one doing it
Ah yes, it's a good thing there was only 35,000+ people murdered (half of them children), doctors executed and imprisoned, patients left to die in their beds, 70-80% of infrastructure decimated, millions displaced and forced into a tiny space with no food, water, fuel or medicine where they're now dying en mass to starvation and the ones that do survive will suffer the consequences of acute malnutrition for the rest of their lives.
I'm so glad we avoided "untold suffering" by continuing to deliver bombs and aid to the far-right genocidal government.
Providing cover for Biden's complicity here is utterly disgusting.
