      My answer is stop backseat driving Sophie’s choice. STFU and resist genocide.

      When you’re Sophie, you pick whoever you want, I don’t care, I’m not gonna criticize you for it.

            If she refuses to make a choice and as a result both die, then the consequences of not making a choice are because of her. The whole bc situation isn’t her fault. But not choosing is on her. In the case of Dems vs repubs, it’s not even a hard choice as one side supports child rapists, seriously harmful random international policies, and there are many other issues that make it clear Dems are better.

              Ok, I’m gonna keep my focus and ire on the fascists. I’ll leave you to spend time and energy backseat driving Sophie’s choice.

                But that’s the point. If you don’t vote in an effective way against the fascists when you can, your focus is irrelevant.

                  That’s your point, my point is the democrats and republicans are both fascists and it doesn’t matter that much which you choose. Voting for the “less bad” fascist to kill the older kid isn’t working “effectively” against the fascists.

                    They are not the same. I totally understand that the Dems are evil. But it’s so silly to say they’re as bad as the repubs under trump, or any of the current maga crowd. So voting for the lesser evil gets you lesser evil. Otherwise you get more evil. And that’s worse. I don’t see how it can be any simpler. Not voting won’t change the dems - they just move further right to try to get that vote since the left base evaporated. Work in the primaries to get more progressive candidates on the ballot. Start grass roots actions. Whatever. But not voting for the lesser evil while you do that is crazy. Heck, we may not even get another free election in the U.S. and this could have all been avoided if there were just a few more left leaning voters who got up off their asses and voted logically.
