  • isn’t it obvious that voting for the “lesser evil” just inevitably trends towards the greater evil over time? .

    What’s obvious is that multiple election cycles of non-participation lead to people who want the greater evil winning the vote more often.

    It is not a successful strategy at mitigating harm

    Counterpoint: literally any of the things that happened under Trump that Hillary almost certainly wouldn’t have done.

    Like nominating three of the judges that overturned roe

    We’ve been down that road before

    What doesn’t happen is non-participation leading to the abolishion of America’s two party system.




  • That isn’t me ignoring your point.

    One of the parties declared open hostilities towards blm/crt/“woke” including via legislation. All of which they use to denounce black rights or history in some way.

    On that measure Democrats are less hostile and it’s an important one. You need to teach about the oppression to do anything about it


  • Why does this meme depict the saving of abortion rights by voting for Harris (again)?

    Because the more Democratic presidental terms there are the more nominees can reach the supreme court to overturn. Roe was overturned precisely because Republicans played that game of getting more judges on the bench

    Additionally more dems in power increases the chance of a legislative victory on the issue

    What “objective” measure implies Democrats are less hostile to BLM?

    Listen to any Republican ever talk about BLM or make policy against “critical race theory” or “woke”.
