I've come to the conclusion that there is no best alternative.
Republicans are full on racist, fascist, crazy people.
Greens are all the above with the rotted veneer of liking the environment.
Libertarians are all the above plus more racist and crazy minus the environment.
Democrats are incompetent, won't let go of being Republican-lite, and are unreliable allies like MLK warned about.
Progressives are petulant, instant gratification demanding, iPhone attention span, unreliable allies that MLK warned about.
Right now, I'm just going to go full independent and stop trying to fix any of this shit show and concentrate on just surviving and making sure my kids have an out. I've got no confidence in anything in this nation that isn't better than this so fix it yourselves, I'm out.
I feel exactly the same. I think people should start to self sort. I’m moving to Germany so of course the government collapsed.
Most other countries won't accept American refugees without qualifications that most of us don't have. So a lot of us are going to be stuck here, for better or worse.
Even a blue state would be better. Though I think that depends on how much blue state governors resist.
Remember, the tankies on lemmy are a miniscule portion of libertarians.
