I didn’t say Democrats are good, I said they’re better.

If they aren’t willing to do anything better than that then they don’t deserve anyone’s votes.

I dunno, I think if even a single life is saved by voting for a Democrat, that would have been worth it.

There are things America does, which is bad and both Democrats and Republicans are guilty of, and there are ways Republicans are much worse. American imperialism will not be undone in a single election, and refusing to partake in incremental progress (or at least harm reduction) is throwing away any impact you could have in the system. Well, not you, but there are marginalized groups interior to the United States which face more oppression under Trump than they ever would under Harris, and saying their lives and suffering don’t matter because “America gonna America” is just cold blooded. It’s a really basic trolley problem and I have problems with the people who think they’re above pulling a lever because both tracks have bodies on them.

Yes America bad, and yes Democrats bad, but sometimes they’re the best choice available.
