The notion that Biden represents a lesser evil compared to the chaotic reign of Trump is a common argument. However, we must not forget that there exists a moral threshold below which neither choice is acceptable. To suggest that enabling a literal genocide can be considered a lesser evil is a morally bankrupt stance.
Saying that voting for Biden is a moral obligation to prevent the return of Trump perpetuates a dangerous fallacy. It implies that the democratic party is immune from scrutiny and accountability, no matter the atrocities they commit. This line of thinking allows for a never-ending cycle of justification, as long as there’s somebody considered worse, the democrats are granted a blank check. This is nothing more than a form of gaslighting, manipulating the public into believing that their only choice is between two evils, rather than demanding a better standard of leadership and true representation.
Blue MAGA will scold us over subjects like gay rights - rights they didn’t fight over to get them to where they finally were when the sea change was inevitable and they “evolved” on such issues.
Yeah, gay rights should be such an illuminating issue. The Liberals avoided doing anything positive and had a decent number of “centrist/moderate” politicians against gay rights. And they just avoided it and just vaguely said that they don’t support active violence and persecution while not accepting gay people. But they were the good ones because some Republicans were in favor of stoning. But, eventually the Supreme Court made gay marriage happen so no Democrat or elected official had to show courage or principles on the subject, and once it was no longer an active issue for elected representatives and polling said it would be a hindrance to electoral viability for a Democrat to be anti-Gay Marriage, suddenly Hillary, Biden, Obama, etc. had a change of heart on their personal stance.
It’s a good example for the reasons you outlined but it’s also so recent that we all pretty much have living memory of the dems flipping on the issue. There are plenty of other historical examples though, such as the civil rights movement. Standing on the sidelines and until the last moment and then pretending they were always in the fight. Since libs love their pop culture references I’m gonna say that the modern careerist Democrat is the equivalent of Walder Frey from Game of Thrones. I don’t know Harry Potter enough to do one of those comparisons.
When in doubt, just call them all Dolores Umbridge
Jk, that’s just Hillary
Ok, I’m done baiting libs.
I think the centrist politician who ends up just doing evil is the Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge who pretends to be totally oblivious to all the shit going on until literally wizard Adolf Hitler is alive again in front of him.
