And this is how the right wins. People acting like voting the lesser evil is the solution and not putting your foot down and saying “no more”.

    So how has not voting for the lesser evil been working out for us lately?

    there is no lesser evil. both sides are voting against trans rights, both sides want to actively engage in multiple genocides around the world, both sides want to increase corruption, both sides want to funnel money into the military industrial complex, and both sides want to make the US more authoritarian and increase government surveillance and decrease civil rights.

    voting for the "lesser evil" only works when there's a lesser evil to begin with.

    You're doing all non-white and non-cishet people extremely dirty by acting like there's no difference between the two parties. You sound extremely privileged. There is a word of difference between kowtowing to corporate interests (which, yes, both parties do) and also actively seeking to exterminate all "undesirables".

    eight democrats just voted for an anti-trans bill. don't even try that line, especially to someone who is a PoC and queer. your kind has been trying to wipe mine out for decades, the only difference between you and the republicans is that they are at least honest about hating us.

    You got Trump because of the lesser of the two evil bullshit. Majority of americans decided Trump was the lesser of the two evil. I wonder how many more trump like president do you need to understand.

    No, putting your foot down and saying no more was how the right won.

    The left can't "just" win though. We need to be actively working to ratchet the party back to its principles.

    Both sides are equally bad is stupidly binary thinking that only benefits the right.
