The infantile "but they do it much harder" is the same as with the aiding of zio genociders. It doesn't matter that there is a difference, but that both sides have the same policy. It only matters to the dogmatic campists. But I don't expect anything better from the idiot country. It has never been different and they don't learn. As long as they fuck up their own shithole for once I'm OK with it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Signtist@bookwyr.me 4 points 6 months ago (1 child) Yeah, people don't like the nuance of "both parties are functionally the same in some contexts, and different in others." Like sure, it's definitely better to steer the country toward the lesser of two evils when it's the 11th hour and all you can do is use your single vote to make a minor change in the presidential election, but when we're here in the space between, we need to be working much harder to actually make some real change. Get some people in at the local level who actually care about their own integrity and the environment, and nurture them through the decades in more local and state elections until they finally get to that presidential campaign level. Then we can make some real change with that vote. Until that happens, yeah, both sides are going to allow the environment to get worse, even if one does it more egregiously. Or we can topple the regime right now, but that's a lot of work and sacrifice that I'm losing faith in our ability to scrounge up at the moment. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago Well I know it' s not going to happen. You at least know how it is but also acknowledge not many people want to do the effort.
