The DNC cited a procedural concern, but Hogg said it is “impossible to ignore the broader context” of his criticisms.

Yep, they've been the lesser evil for a long time now. The effort should be in working towards making them less evil, not giving up and letting the greater evil which has no chance of ever becoming less evil take over. A bit late now, of course.

    The effort should be in working towards making them less evil,

    How many more decades of effort do you suppose it will take to slow them getting worse, let alone get them to the point where being less evil is something that they might consider?

    I don't know, but I know that fascists being in power should be completely unacceptable.

    Yes, it should.

    In either party.

    If they lie and say they want to do something that benefits us mere noncorporations, oh that has to be accomplished over the course of forever while we make incremental change. Look, we'll run on a tiny improvement then abandon it immediately upon election.

    But if they want to block a progressive from office or sell weapons for genocide, that can be done immediately.

    The party takes advantage of good people having no choice. No one likes being taken advantage of. It was never gonna work forever, and democrats fucked up. They're never gonna stop taking advantage, though. Incremental progress is a disgusting filthy lie from the quisling party. They move quick when they want to. They move quick when there's Palestinian children to murder.
