[–] fine_sandy_bottom@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 2 years ago (1 child) This whole "lesser evil" narrative is daft and it needs to stop. If I had an army of bots and got paid to help GOP win the election I would make and upvote comments exactly like this one. Biden is not the POTUS you "want" in a fairytale idealist kind of way. Deal with it. The "both parties are just as bad as each other" angle only helps one side, and it ain't progressive. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe -7 points 2 years ago* (2 children) Yeah, one just has to accept "not doing a genocide" is a fairytale for America! Shut up, stop complaining, stop advocating for change in your elected leaders, and get back to work! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] fine_sandy_bottom@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 years ago That's not what I'm saying at all. Advocate all you like. Protest. Donate. Advocate for change. Voting is not a form of advocation. The lesser evil narrative is about voting. permalink fedilink source parent [–] docAvid@midwest.social 4 points 2 years ago No, we have to actually fight that in material ways. Voting third party or abstaining is accepting it. That's exactly what the party leadership wants angry voters to do. If you don't want to accept genocide, organize and take over the Democratic party. We need to win congressional seats, committee seats, control of local clubs, everything from the bottom up. permalink fedilink source parent
