Comment on the two party system is just one big party

  Your skirting of my question and the demonstrably untrue claims you’ve made aside, yeah of course there are Dems that absolutely need to GTFO. Bad faith content like this is what keeps people from bothering to vote those people out.

    I have to concede that 99% Hitler is better than 100% Hitler in the short term, that much is true, but if 99% Hitler wins then 100% Hitler can become 110% Hitler. Then 99% Hitler becomes 109% Hitler. That’s Blake’s Lesser Hitler Theory.

    We need to LOUDLY and unanimously reject “Vote Blue No Matter Who” narratives, otherwise there is no incentive for the Democrats to ever move towards progressivism.

    We also need to work on alternatives to electoralism broadly. I think the Black Panthers are a great example to follow.

      Criminy, ‘vote blue’ doesn’t mean vote and then sit at home thinking your work is done. It means voting for the lesser evil and then continuing to leverage the whole of your might to making the system better. It means fight just as hard for justice, just do it while trying to pick a less evil bad guy to have to fight. You want a whole new system? Then fight for it, and vote blue while you’re at it because it’ll be easier to kick those idiots out than the outright fascists.

        Sure, I get that, but if you always vote blue no matter who then there is no long-term harm reduction, it actually increases overall harm to have that philosophy. If you aren’t willing to withhold your support and vote third party then there is no incentive for democrats to try and win your vote.

      What is going on here? Can’t be an LLM because at least the LLMs responses are based somewhat on what they’re responding to. This reads more like a script. I’m getting deja vu to 2015.

        …and you called me bad faith. My first instinct was to ignore your reply, I should’ve gone with that.

        It’s someone who was indoctrinated in September / October 2024, was never deprogrammed, and has somehow navigated the interceding 15 months without reading anything?
