    I can’t believe we’ve voted for the lesser of two evils for an entire generation, to the point that the lesser evil is a strike breaking, border wall building, senile octogenarian that’s bypassing Congress to sell arms to a genocidal ethnostate, and liberals still can’t come up with a better alternative.

      This whole “lesser evil” narrative is daft and it needs to stop.

      If I had an army of bots and got paid to help GOP win the election I would make and upvote comments exactly like this one.

      Biden is not the POTUS you “want” in a fairytale idealist kind of way. Deal with it.

      The “both parties are just as bad as each other” angle only helps one side, and it ain’t progressive.

        Yeah, one just has to accept “not doing a genocide” is a fairytale for America! Shut up, stop complaining, stop advocating for change in your elected leaders, and get back to work!

          That’s not what I’m saying at all.

          Advocate all you like. Protest. Donate. Advocate for change.

          Voting is not a form of advocation. The lesser evil narrative is about voting.

          No, we have to actually fight that in material ways. Voting third party or abstaining is accepting it. That’s exactly what the party leadership wants angry voters to do. If you don’t want to accept genocide, organize and take over the Democratic party. We need to win congressional seats, committee seats, control of local clubs, everything from the bottom up.

      And if we don’t vote for him, everything falls apart because of us despite the fact that it’s been falling apart for decades.
