It's easy to play games with other people's lives.

The short term sucks, but in the long term it is much much better.

Do you mean by the short term sucks that

• immigrants and US citizens are being murdered and tortured
• children are being trafficked without consequences
• we're going to war
• people are losing jobs fast and a great recession or depression is nigh
• trump and his posse are stealing so much money and breaking so many laws that no one can keep track
• he demolished a portion of our icon of america and wrecked the reflecting pool while trying to set up an emperor's arch and ballroom that cost close to a billion dollars
• he's removing tons of people from medicare and medicaid that will kill people if it already hasn't
• he removed a lot of our environmental protections and is selling off our public lands to the highest bidder
• he removed our health protections and now we're seeing a massive push for pro plague diseases
• he's destroying some of our national cultural and historic monuments because he's racist af
• etc., etc.,

To me, you're saying an insane comment. This isn't just a matter of sucking a little, people are dying, being tortured and are broke.

You have it backwards. If the republicans had no chance of winning, then there can be a split within the Democrats.

Absolute bullshit if you think the Republicans winning is “lesser of two evils” in any sane universe.

Yeah there's no effective agreeable way to protest a party you're mostly aligned with in a two party state. They use your and their mutual "enemy" to hold your vote hostage.
