Saleh@feddit.org 2 weeks agoOh you think the Democrats going low will benefit the people?
The Democrats going low will just mean that they’ll fully fuck over the people for their billionaire donors together with the Reps and then they’ll remind you that this is exactly what you asked for. And now back to work for minimum wage. The GDP isnt making itself.

So what do you suggest? Keeping the moral high ground, losing election and letting Trump and his goons “benefit the people”.
This is about choosing the lesser evil and picking politics that will stoop as fucking low as possible to be elected and then do very minor social reform to actually help Americans that are struggling.
Sure it will still fucking suck but I would argue a lot less than applauding the losing democrats congratulating themselves for keeping an entirely worthless moral high-ground. If that moral high ground had any fucking value to the average American they certainly wouldn’t have re-elected Trump. Even with disinformation they all know he paid a pornstar to hide his vices and yet it just didn’t affect the slightest his campaign. Morality has absolutely 0 value in your political system. It’s valueless for your justice systems (you can pardon anybody, supreme court judges elected for life), it’s valueless for politicians since they can do anything and get away with it. Your supreme court explicitly said that Trump can order the assassination of anybody and get away with it. Is this a moral high ground? It’s the posture of a dicator and it helped him get elected.
So I’d say keep your moral high ground and once this will be the last thing remaining to you, we shall see if you still hold the same opinion. I think you would think you should have fought dirty when you still had something of actual value.

I suggest using your political powers to move relevant things. Biden and the Dems dont do that. Instead they abuse it for nepotism
