Every election is the least bad option every time. Anyone who thinks different lives in a fantasy world. Real life always disappoints.
This is genocide, not just healthcare policy or something
This is America. Genocide has been our policy for hundreds of years.
Centrists successfully fought against the public option but refuse to oppose genocide.
I also particularly enjoy the insinuation that expecting a candidate to oppose or at least not actively support genocide is “living in a fantasy world.”
I remember back not that long ago when any democrat would have proudly told you that they would never support genocide under any circumstances. For some of them it turns out there’s a clause of “unless our ally is doing it and there’s an election coming up”
Yes, they would have told you that. But when it came down to it they’d prevaricate and allow it. Just like drone strikes. Or the Iraq War, which most of the Democrats supported.
I’m not happy about it, but reality has disappointed me way, way too many times to expect anything better.
The fact that we need a government at all is a failure of our species IMHO. We can’t be trusted not to be assholes.
Agree 100%. It’s sad
Its going to take hundreds of elections to vote your way away from the genocide country, founded by genocide, built by genocide and stopping them from participating in genocide. You’d have to run the pro genocide people out of every dime they have by supporting their opponents. And they’re spending money to defeat democrats right now.
A general strike could do it sooner, but it would be brutal, painful and require a level of solidarity above and beyond lecturing people on an online forum
