    I wish I knew how bad it would have to get before a majority of voters would change their behavior, but we haven’t scraped the bottom of the barrel just yet.

      i suspect that multiple generations worth of organized anti-leftists efforts like COINTELPRO have given the american people brainworms that will make that bottom of the barrel go much further than anything we’ve ever seen before.

    He who doesn’ vote to realistically oppose the higher evil is outright supporting the higher evil. And is a fool falling for right wing strategy. Vote whichever way avoids a higher evil.

        Caused more by people NOT voting. Apathy and refusing to vote for anything that is imperfect, but against pure evil, is the GOP’s and Russia’s effective strategy.

    Just a shame said evil destroys everyone opposing it. Unless you prepared, you will be steamrolled by lobbying.

    It’s insane how many dumb decisions humans make, for a quick exchange token that probably tastes bad

    And lesser evil ? More “less financially lucrative evil” Nice way of doging. Sometimes it feels asif language was invented to bend situation towards the fortituded of the biggest most scru·pu·lous liar in the room.

    Either do it properly or don’t

    But… But… But what do I do if not vote blue no matter who? This radical extremist should be ashamed of himself, whatever happened to Dr king’s ‘I have a dream’? May e we should listen to that guy.
