      Would you say that trumps policy on Gaza has made it better than if Harris had taken it? “Let it rip” seems to be his policy on the ethnic cleansing we’re watching go down. Not to mention the wholesale abuse of civil liberties and dissent crackdown vastly more prevalent than it was under biden. I get it man, he let us all down, but i think the alternative is sooo much worse by comparison.

        No one in the uni-party system was anti-genocide. Harris gave no indication she would not continue Biden’s murderous policies. She did not denounce his actions, she did not say she was against it, and only gave us platitudes. I don’t vote for the uni-party system, neither one of them are for democracy. To do so, only perpetuates this disastrous behavior. There is no “lesser” than …ever.

          I’d agree that the dnc and rnc are two wings of the same bird. Hoooweeeever there absolutely is a less than, now instead of being in a situation where political pressure could have swayed foreign policy positions, we have a Cheeto fascist who gives not a single shit unless a situation enriches himself and is in addition to enabling Israel has begun committing his own human rights violations, attacks on the press, flagrantly pissing on the constitution etc.

            Being an enabler for the neo-libs/neo-con uni-party, election after election, because lets face it, there will always be a bad actor offered up on both sides, is a dead-end endgame. Do you have healthcare for all, affordable housing, free education possible? Spoiler, keep voting for them, and you never will.

              In every election I’ve been capable of voting in my candidate didn’t win the primary, and its always come down to two other clear options that could take it. One of those bags of shit has always been obviously and obscenely worse than the other. In local elections? Hell yeah. In primaries? Hell yeah. Senate races? Hell yeah. But at the finish line of the last few elections its moronic to not vote for whoever has the best shot of beating trump. I agree with you about most everything you’ve said and the rigged money infested political system here does need to go, I just think that in practice saying “both sides bad” on any presidential election lately is pretty foolish because the obvious worst case scenario is happening as we speak. What’s your proposition for fixing it? what is your actionable response? How’re you changing it? Did you cast a ballot?
