This fact doesn't really invalidate the initial statement though.
We would not be experiencing what we are currently experiencing presently if the Dems won. This isn't an endorsement of the Dems, just reality
I view voting as a means to steer us to possibilities. Revolution and change won't come through the ballot box but who gets voted in can influence that one way or another.
It's not even a fact.
Conservatives could say the same thing.
The thing about a party that does nothing but maintain the status quo is they will never make things better.
I don't think it's healthy to feel morally superior for preventing progress.
But that is literally superior to making things worse. It's not about feeling anything, it's about outcomes.
yeah nice try, not working. deal with the consequences
That’s just another way to admit you’re mainly upset about how it impacts you personally. Many, many people were already on the receiving end of US fascism and violence under Democrats.
What you’re advocating for is your own protection, and pretending it’s concern for others.
Interesting point but you're trying very hard to twist "I don't want any more people to get hurt" into a bad thing. I don't think these sorts of word games or speculation where you hammer someone's intentions into a mold that you can bash is healthy discussion.
