@Salamence 100% accurate
I mean, the DNC supports genocide. Trump is worse, which is really a testament to how phenomally bad he is for just about everyone on the planet. I want progressive democrats on the ballot, but I'm not holding my breath. I'm still going to vote, and I'm going to vote for the least bad option.
be sure to remember that you always have more than 2 options.
voting for any non-progressive candidate perpetuates this system that's controlled by baby raping/eating/killing oligarchic billionaires.
Not voting for any candidate because none of them are progressive enough perpetuates the same system. How are you helping by not voting for the lesser evil?
Explicitly describing genocide as "not progressive enough"
I believe you can make the case for either option (lesser evil or third party) and either is definitely better than not voting, but I'm of the view that voting is a negligible part of our political involvement that gets too much attention, organizing is a lot more necessary and effective, otherwise things will never improve
there's always a progressive candidate and you should always vote; just be aware that both the republican and democratic parties are actively perpetuating this system.
@themeatbridge yep
voting is not a marriage proposal, it's a chess move towards a better future.
I still want everyone at the DNC leadership to choke and die, soonest.
Given the last few decades, you clearly suck at chess
chess moves implies control and voting for the lesser evil isn't a strategic move; it's just hoping that the piece you think you're forced to move does the least amount of damage.
