    Brain dead take. This whole philosophy of yours falls apart in the real world- look at the last US elections. We’re speed running reversal of 100+ years of progress with this idiot, where we would have incremental change forward still happening if people like you had decided to get off their high horse and vote. Not saying you personally were voting, just your mindset was one that fucked us over.

      We got to where we are because we’ve been choosing the lesser evil, for far longer than 20 years

      If liberals hadn’t been so content with choosing evil, we’d have avoided the last 50 years of backsliding.

      This whole theory has been 100% proven by the current shitshow here in Germany. Everything I wrote has already happened and fascists much worse than Trump are currently the first among polls in Germany as a result.

          Oh my, if you had stopped voting the lesser evil 20 years ago, you’d not have Trump now.

            Factually wrong. We would have had Al Gore instead of Bush, if people voted for lesser evils. We wouldn’t have had Nixon or Regan if people voted for lesser evils. Don’t comment on our politics when you know nothing of them.

                Unfortunately, he didn’t win- because the Electoral College is a sham. We got Bush Jr. who threw us into 20+ years of war, and a bunch of idiots that can’t pronounce the world “Nuclear” without adding an extra “U” somewhere in there.

                  because the Electoral College is a sham.

                  That and supreme court stopping the count and gore not fighting for it.

                  But now we also have many of the same people from that case on Supreme Court! 😭
