Honestly how long do “we” have to vote for the “lesser evil”?
Do you “practical” people have a timeline?
It’s not like we don’t have an example of what this leads to. Labour ruled the UK for quite some time before and after Thacther, and Tony Blair stood “shoulder to shoulder” with Bush to invade Afghanistan and Iraq.
If the best we can hope for in the united states is having the dems lead us to Labour-like politics, that’s not fucking enough.
We owe it to ourselves and the world to not let this be good enough.
Vote for the lesser evil because having a revolution (non-violent, just FYI NSA, I would never advocate violent revolution against the US government) under a marginally less oppressive regime will be easier
I see it more like a side quest. Revolution is the main objective. In the meantime we go drop a ballot in a box and and our allies have a very small chance at getting epic armour.
I like this analogy.
