So the deluge of Biden admins who have resigned because of the genocide in Palestine: are they all Trump supporters now since they are withholding their support for Biden?
Good lord, it is horrifying to think about what kind of horrific monstrosities the dems will support in coming decades in the name of "harm reduction" instead of asking hard questions about the viability of their political system, which is bought and paid for by special interests. I give it 5 more presidential cycles before the democratic tagline evolves into "vote for our candidate who only wants to do 5 genocides as opposed to the one who wants to do 6 genocides!". Y'all have been anchor biased hard as fuck. Liberals will continue to prop up genocide such that they don't have to question capitalism, or contemplating what kind of steps would need to be taken to dismantle it.
The history is there folks, read it before you start taking shots to the left as you flail - trying and failing to understand how your country is backsliding into genocidal fascism.
We can point out Trump is worse than Biden, while still pushing for a better candidate on 2028, that won't support genocide.
Nobody is saying it's impossible.
We've been playing that game for decades, but especially since 2016. This will be the third cycle in a row of "just this once because we need to beat Trump, then you can have a turn next time."
Meanwhile things continue to get demonstrably worse. This is not sustainable.
No yeah you're right let's vote for Trump. That will fix things.
Or maybe people in battle ground states, that would vote for Biden, should vote for s 3rd party candidate, that will totally not be exactly the same as not voting at all and by extension helping trump. /S
The time to pick a more progressive candidate was in 2020. We lost that battle. But if Bernie had won, moderate democracts might be saying bernie should be replaced right now with someone more palpable. I would say in that situation same thing I'm saying now: don't change the incumbent.
The incumbent historically has had a huge advantage.
History. History says it’s impossible.
