    If that quiet old man hadn’t decided to try to cling to power despite no longer being fit to hold the office, we might not even be in this predicament.

        Yeah, the “leftifts” that didn’t show up for those “reasons” are as bad as the magatards and bear the same responsibility. As a leftist myself (not in US though) I curse the absurdism of leftist politicians and electors and their puritanical behavior that can’t seem to do real politics.

          You want them to keep voting for the lesser evil until eternity with both evils moving further to the right every election, got it?
          Nothing absurd there.

            Harm reduction is better than nothing. Yes, I fucking do, then I want them to vote for better people on a local level as they have the option to do. First reduce risk of further harm. Then treat the wound.

            It’s crazy that you would rather have a dictatorship than a centralist .

              Yeah, like you vote the mediocre and not fascist candidate and you can still protest. But if you vote (or don’t participate) the fascist one then you’ll not be able to protest and suddenly the genocide might be coming home.

            Both parties keep moving to the right becuase voters keep rewarding right by wing behaviour. You get the politicians you vote for

          It’s quite paradoxical; right, an ideology about them-vs-us being such united and left, an ideology (at least theoretically) about camaradery being such divided

      I’m not sure it would have helped. 2 Democrats haven’t been elected into office back to back since before the Civil War.
