Tell me, what's the alternative?

I don't see one. You're just fucking grandstanding.

So, I'm what, supposed to not vote at all?

Then the actual evil will win

    Americans seem to think they are due some sort of fair and equitable civil society without having to fight for it. Actual evil will win anyway unless you fight the evil people and take a stand, constantly-- not occasionally when its only relevant to you. The problem is that americans are too spoiled and are lazy with their politics and morals. They just lay there like baby birds waiting to be fed, so the evils take advantage of that lethargy and here we are.

    I'm a Euro and I am constantly pissed at American politics. And it's blearing in our ears all day.

    I couldn't tell you who is the mayor of London, but everyone knows who the mayor of NYC is.

    A: we have to get rid of vaccines, get rid of healthcare and go to war

    B: we have to keep vaccines, keep healthcare and go to war

    You: woah! They're exactly the same!

    Yes, both of those are, and I quote, "actual evil".

    That both of your examples are, in fact, evil. They may not be the same, or equal, but both are, obviously, evil. Which was the argument.

    As the kids say, you are doing the thing in the meme.

    What alternative? You chose the options. I'm just pointing out that, as the user above said, they're both evil.

    Morality has nothing to do with it. I'm saying you don't even understand your own argument.

    It's up to you and your community to create the alternative. No one is going to give it to you on a silver platter.

    They want other people to do the work for them so they can show up and act they supported the movement the entire time. They don't want to do the work, they just want the participation trophy.

    if that were true could link me saying that instead of typing something that I didn't type.

    The only solution liberals are capable of seeing are ones that involve their failed party and their failed ideology

    And the solutions you offer are?

    My point is you're just saying things and doing nothing.

    Watch the idiot walk, watch the idiot talk, watch the idiot write up their name on the blackboard. Watch the robot walk, watch the robot talk, watch the robot write up their vote on the ballot.

    It's a lose-lose situation, there is no win condition, there's just be heard, or be not heard
