    The ratchet is awful, but in this moment it’s still the lesser of 2 evils.

    These “both sides” arguments are like saying you refuse to walk across a shitty floor because you want to keep your shoes clean when the alternative is being fully immersed in sewage with your mouth open.

      Meanwhile you’re still refusing to fix the pipes because the floor is clean.

      You guys did this shit with Biden. And here we are.

        We have literal, actual fascism here. Let’s not let perfect be the enemy of “Not a Nazi”

          Again, it’s not like this wasn’t tried. You did “not a Nazi” in 2020. And it led you here.

          VBNMW has been failing since it was coined in 2004. And yet people still act like they’re somehow wise in insisting on it.

            And in 2020, we didn’t elect a fucking Nazi and things were better than before and way better than now. Was the world magically made perfect? No. But it was better.

            And when the current batch is kicked out, things will still be bad. It will take decades to fix what’s been broken. And that sucks. But just because the repairs are going to be slow, painful, and inefficient doesn’t mean we should just let the wrecking ball keep swinging.

          Stop acting like anyone who wants better than “second worst genocide supporter” wants perfection.
