Loving the parade of the usual suspects in here to tell us that politics ARE about simple issues, ARE easy to fix, and anyway bothsides.
Simple issues like saving American democracy?
I still want to someday vote for better third parties, but that gets a lot less scary when we have FULLY AND UTTERLY ANNIHILATED the COMPLETELY USELESS Republican Party.
The sooner everyone realizes they never have their own useful ideas, the more we can choose between progressive policies without worrying about a wasted vote.
This is obviously oversimplified, but I agree with the message.
Okay, but what I don't get is:
Why would you not want to vote for the centrists?
If you're (rightfully) getting mad at the republicans for being egocentric and only looking out for themselves, you can't at the same time not be centrist and want to be egocentric and only look out for yourself
You'd just be a republican representing a different interest group
Neolib nonsense. People need to realize that voting for the lesser evil gets us evil every single time. There is only one solution, intifada revolution.
