I would say both are evil, you're just quibbling over which one is more evil.

Yes, that is correct.

The point I'm making is that the difference doesn't matter much in the grand scheme. Both are wrong, neither should be accepted.

What's important is that the status quo in US politics is evil and needs to be rectified. If Democrats win big time, the evil status quo will remain as it is and it must be changed. If Republicans retain much power, the status quo will change into a much more evil one yet. And it must then be changed, first back to the 2026 status quo, after which we can do what could be done immediately if the Democrats get a landslide victory.

There's no sense in going through the detour of even greater evil and wasting years to that instead of getting going from the current status quo. But I am worried that many people who could stop things from getting full-scale fascist (the current concentration camp system expanding hundredfold, etc, as happened in Germany) will refuse to vote, thus bringing us past a point of no return where any sort of resistance is made physically impossible.

When one side winning just ends it all and the other side winning means we still have a fighting chance to topple it, it feels horrible that there are people who are willing to accept 1941 Germany reincarnating in the form of USA in order to hold to their principles. Last time we got lucky and they lost their war for world conquest. There's no being sure we'll get that lucky this time, so we really should not try!
