lesser evil won in 2020 & we got:

  • genocide
  • record police killings of Black Americans
  • record COVID deaths
  • record trans murders
  • 1st declared LGBTQIA+ emergency
  • homelessness criminalized
  • record inflation

Democrats didn't try to repeal the Patriot Act. They kept reauthorizing it. They didnt try to address Citizens United, they ignored it. They didn't try to close Guantanamo Bay. They didn't try to roll back ICE funding. And all the stuff that Trump is currently doing, they will do absolutely nothing to roll any of it back. Liberal lesser evil enables the greater evil. When liberals say lesser evil, what they mean is the same evil but affects them less.

And now the bigger evil won in 2024 and we got:

  • even more genocide
  • literal racist death squads (broke record too)
  • return of plenty more diseases
  • even bigger record of trans murders
  • declared LGBTQIA+ as enemies of the state
  • homelessness killings and deportations
  • even bigger record inflation that is making people go bankrupt

Thank you for proving the point that voting lesser evil slows the decline.

Fight for a third party during pre-election, but not during the election when it is obvious to everyone the third party isn't going to do anything.

It doesn't slow anything, there's an option of no harm but liberals are terrified of using it because the current system benefits THEM so much. All the harm that trump has created will be kept in place by Democrats once he's out, the exact same way they kept most of his first term stuff under Biden. Their ratchet effect always prevents Republican actions from ever slipping back.

I will poke only one hole in your little list there.

lesser evil won in 2020

record COVID deaths

pretty sure any number of deaths would've been record numbers...
