The U.S. Supreme Court’s immunity decision has reportedly emboldened the presumptive GOP nominee to pursue his far-right agenda and authoritarian aims “without fear of punishment or restraint.”

    This logic isn’t sustainable.

    30 years from now you’ll still be arguing against leftists for not voting for 99% hitler as opposed to 100% hitler.

    I swear, liberals will still be screeching about “if you don’t vote for the candidate who wants 3 genocides as opposed to the one who wants 5, you are a Russian bot!”

    Lesser evilism is what got us here. The American experiment has run its course and we have a duty to dismantle it.

      You can’t say lesser evilism got us here when we chose the greater evil in the election before last. If we kept voting lesser evil maybe, but we don’t consistently. Not nearly enough to make the greater evil not think they stand a chance without lessening themselves.

      This is a bullshit argument. You want strong progressive change? Run in down races to prove the platform works first. Gain momentum instead of going for the gold ring on your first try.
