Pretending to fight the greater evil, but then immediately caputulating and building out the tools that they use to be evil is enabling the greater evil. Calling the lesser evil out for pretending is not enabling the greater evil.
Can’t help but to see this view as naively idealistic.
If you like. I can't help but see continued support for the lesser evil as naively defeatist.
Trying to do nothing wrong shouldn’t get in the way of doing something right, we didn’t get here overnight and we won’t get out of it overnight, perfect doesn’t exist but better does, it just feels like roadblocks with no compromise to me. We’re never going to be handed a perfect candidate and things will never be fixed in a single election, it just seems to me like that is an all or nothing argument and that will always leas to nothing.
Well, if the Democrats were just doing nothing wrong, I'd be OK with that. But they are doing a lot wrong. Just off the top of my head:
I'm not asking for a perfect candidate. I'm asking for a candidate that isn't a monster. But the Democrats aren't interested in providing a candidate that isn't a monster.
This is exactly what I was talking about. There’s no point talking about this, we disagree, let’s not waste both of our time.
