Glad they're taking off the gloves a little, but it's always been a non-option to just make our lives significantly and irrevocably better like M4A or the PRO act and although they're good at trying and failing, they never talk about the consequences as dire as they actually are with few exceptions.

What, are you going to vote for the guy who will put his knee on your throat and murder you? No, of course not. You should vote for not that, because not that will not do that and if someone else does, they will glare disapprovingly from a safe distance, secretly appreciating that it isn't them being murdered.

Democrats. We're not actively evil.

And yet, if I have a choice to be policed by Chauvin or Thao, there is no question that I choose Thao.

Yes, the ultimate goal is to deprive both of these men of their power. But for that to happen we need Chauvin to take his knee off our neck.

~~This is barely a metaphor by the way. Since Trump pardoned Chauvin and the Democrats didn’t.~~ Evidently I must have been thinking of another pardon.

In case you choose Thao you get same course but in slow pace. The whole Trump thingy just accelerated things and showed the real faces of current politicians not only in us but worldwide

If you do nothing other than voting, then maybe. But I'm saying voting is just a small part of a larger overall strategy. And the non-voting actions are how things will get better.

This is largely how we got the new deal. Roosevelt was forced to adopt a lot of these programs by the organized demands of the labor movement.
