    I get why people want to choose the smaller evil but sometimes it’s necessary to point out all evils and head towards a stateless society.

    But maybe that’s the difference between “both sides bad” and “two sides bad”

        1. The meme doesn’t show that second half, 2. I show sympathy with that viewpoint in my first comment. Support the lesser evil but still call it an evil.

        It comes down to this, I know Biden is supporting killing innocent children in Palestine.

        We can roll back policies that dumb fucker trump might try because people will still be alive.

        We might need another trump presidency to show people that they need to do more than support genocide supporting candidates.

        Maybe if it gets bad enough the rest of you will join us in not accepting shitty candidates as good enough.

        They say you get less radical as you get older, but the older I get, the more I think it’s time to let the system burn and try again.

            Oh, it’s not something I am hoping for, just the potential of a silver lining.

            I don’t think trump will help anyone.

            What I do see is so many people who are worried about people’s rights, and then continue supporting someone who doesn’t support an innocent persons right to live.

            It makes it really hard for me to feel for someone who is worried about not being able to dress or be called by the pronoun that the feel matches their gender, none of which is throwing trans/ace/ other minority under the bus.

            I use it as an example to point out the hypocrisy.

            I am sure it is horrible to people who have to deal with that, but being killed is irreversible.

            I know that trans people are more likely to commit suicide and all that, just using this as a parallel.

            If we are this worried about the potential harms created by a trump presidency, shouldn’t we hold Biden to a higher standard?

            I’m sure this will rub people the wrong way so please feel free to ask for clarification if you actually want to have a discussion about the topic.

          2023 centrism in a nutshell. “I don’t like Biden so I vote to give Trump the dictatorship he so craves backed by the scotus he rigged his way into so we’ll never have a choice again”

        I don’t understand how “both sides are the same” could possibly hold any water after roe was appealed.

        Well it’s a good thing the electorate voted largely democratic after Trump so that could get fixed!
