    Reality: if you don’t vote or waste your vote because you’re unwilling to make the better bad choice, you are part of the problem.

    This one issue voting stuff is a trap, it’s how the USA got where it is today.

    Stop knee-jerking and go do something useful.

      thats … BS. Issues arent all of equal importance which makes your statement nuts.

      A vote on naming a post office or whether we do school vouchers is not even remotely comparable to whether the US supports and funds a genocide, or demand basic human rights for all. Anyone (like yourself) using language which equates every issue as the same is basically being deceptive and manipulative.

        That’s not what they’re saying at all which makes your statement disingenuous. Why are you talking about naming post offices? It’s the idea is no single, one, issue should be enough to outweigh every single other one.

        The people who didn’t vote Kamala to “protest” her on Isreal literally contributed to Trump getting elected. Making the original comment very accurate so it’s kinda wild you’re calling it “nuts”.

      Voting for a lesser evil only legitimizes evil. I suppose it’s too much to ask for people to have principles though. Our childhood heroes would be ashamed of the adults we have become.

      “We should all swear fealty to Saruman, because technically he’s less evil than Sauron.”

      To be clear, I’m not talking about AOC, I think she has learned the error of her vote to fund the Iron Dome. But my point stands with regards to any corporate Dem.
