They are still evil though, why it always a choice of "evil vs evil"? We don't have to have this electoral system, we don't have to have these candidates, humanity can do so much better. The only way anyone against genocide or the corporatist status quo could show disagreement is by not voting. If democrats always have the lefts vote no matter what, then they wouldn't even have to be lesser evil.
This thinking got you a Donald Trump presidency again.
I’ve been a proud American my whole life and now I’m in the middle of a move to another country to protect my family so I’m pretty bitter about this topic right now.
This thinking is a small minority of thought among voters. Thank you for believing us leftists are such a powerful bloc though. I can't move to protect myself and many others can't, I'm glad you are privileged enough to escape. If the democrat establishment actually believed Trump was such a major threat to democracy and life why wouldn't they do more to stop it? They can use the national security state to kill whoever worldwide, couldn't they have said Trump was a threat to national security?
I’ve lost faith in this American experiment.
Too many people voted for Trump and too many people sat out a vote to keep him out of power again.
If you think the answer is to have the government kill him then I’ve lost faith in you too.
I don't think they should do that but if they really believed he was Hitler 2.0 why wouldn't they? They have no problem killing people everyday.
I don't think we should lose faith in people, that's what all those in power want. The American people are constantly propagandized, most people can't trust what information is true or false especially when it comes to politics. I just think all the blaming of average progressive voters I've seen is misplaced.
‘Progressive voters’
I’m impressed you got both words wrong there.
What are you talking about? FFS can no one on this site just actually talk like a human? I'm not trying to 'own' you or something
Progressives just regressed this country and the voters didn’t vote.
Now that I’ve spoon fed it to you do you get what I’m saying?
Not voting does nothing. Now you have trump. And who ever else is next. If the left don’t vote nobody well care about them and they can sit in their house winning about nobody represents me.
