Bytemeister comments on Your lesser evil over 50 years has grown to an uncontrollably large evil

Hmmm. Really seems like the government today is directly the result of not choosing the lesser evil 2 years ago.

The 2024 election was the result of choosing the lesser evil in 2020. You can't analyze these problems by looking at only one election at a time. In the grand scheme of things, Biden winning in 2020 was a net-negative for the country. It gave us four more years of milquetoast centrism that did nothing to reduce the appeal of MAGA. If Trump had won again in 2020, he wouldn't have had four years to prepare for a second term. There wouldn't have been a Project 2025.

Electoral myopia is a mortal sin of Democrats. Every election they pretend that no other election has ever happened before, and no other election will ever happen again.

Only in that he wouldn't be able to run again in 2024 if we had let the greater evil win.

So your solution to Trump having a second term, would be to give him a second term?

Your lack of nuance and reading comprehension disturbs me.

Rule 4 "lessor evil rhetoric"

Post is explicitly about "lessor evil" (can't even spell it right in the side bar)

Lessor is a participant of the lease who takes possession of the property and provides it as a leasing subject to the lessee for temporary possession

Mods, restore my comment, or remove the whole post or admit this is a joke sub that is about idealistic anarchist masturbatory fantasies and just ban my ass so I don't have to keep reading the smooth-brained drivel that got the orange fascist elected in the first place, whilst being unable to interject with basic logic and facts.
