        Neither has even a slight lead in not being awful?

        Both deliver genocide and destruction and a foreign policy that’s destroying the world, but one has a slight lead in not being awful (your words), and that’s reason to cheer for them?

        To be very clear: that’s a disgusting position. It’s literally the same position as them (fuck everyone else, I want mine, the rest of the world can burn and die and be bombed by my tax dollars, I just want my Amazon prime and Starbucks), it’s just this murder cult has a bigger circle that fits your friends too.

        It’s puritanism, plain and simple. If you can’t make things perfect, you’re not allowed to make them better, either. It’s just one of the many attitudes that all but guarantees we’re going to keep slip-and-sliding to the right.

          what keeps us going right is electing the “left party” that runs on the right platform from a decade ago.
