I'd be surprised if opponents of genocide would vote Republican instead, given how some GOP reps seem to be opposing even the half-measure of delaying arms shipments.

A two party state where you choose between "fucked up" and "less fucked up, but constantly ceding ground" just does a poor job of accurately representing the opinions of people favouring actual progress, so they're doing what they can to pull the Overton Window their way.

This is what perpetuates the insanity in US. When your choices are Hitler and 99% Hitler, then the vote is meaningless. A lot of people will just choose not to participate in this circus.

This is pretty rich coming from a guy who unironically defends Stalin and Mao for "doing what needed to be done."

Edit - I mean there you have it. If I explain the meme I'll get banned but I think any reasonable person can appreciate the whiplash.

What, defeating the Nazis? Breaking free from Emperors, Western imperialism, and Japanese imperialism? I’d say those needed to be done, yes.
