This is the direct path from neoliberalism/conservatism to fascism that some of us have been warning about for decades.
Sure, the D's are better than the lowest bar known to man — mentally ill fascists and con artists — but fascism may have never succeeded without their own corruption, authoritarianism, and fealty to the plutocracy. They've spent decades building the most pervasive surveillance apparatus in history, collecting data from most computers on the planet, about most of the human population, and are doing nothing as the keys to the kingdom are handed to the Nazis.
Simply put, choosing the "lesser of two evils" over decades means you're sliding towards evil, regardless.
Right. You can't pick the lesser evil in the election today, then go do nothing, and expect good outcomes.
Harm reduction has a place but it's not the whole solution
