The left should run a strongman protector who can out meme anyone, and explains things using third grade language
This begs the question: what’s the alternative?
If it’s a third party candidate, I have yet to see a candidate popular enough to be competitive in the general election. Voting for a candidate who’s not popular enough to win does not slow the side to fascism.
If it’s some non-electoral alternative, what are you waiting for? Voting for the lesser evil does not prevent you from taking other direct actions.
Yep. Voting for the lesser evil is meant to keep the window open. Allow valid elections to continue, allow advocacy to continue, and hopefully keep more people alive. It’s just buying time. The real work in such a dynamic is not in the election booth, it’s on the streets and in smaller offices.
If anything, this election shows that the meme isn’t happening the way it’s shown. The Dems moved more right than ever, and voters did not show up for them.
Call it what you want, I’ll take good that’s available when great isn’t a viable option. For one example it would mean a chance at rebalancing the courts, but now they’ll be steamrolled and conservative for decades. RIP roe v wade
The solution is obviously to vote for the greater evil!
Make sure that the lesser evil doesn’t win, that way everyone will know that the locus of power resides in the left, and not the right which just won yet another election!
That’s how it works, right?
The solution is to blame it all on the liberals. This stupid tankie shit is getting really annoying.
Tankies and MAGA-types will never acknowledge or are incapable of comprehending that many “opposing” political and economic philosophies (e.g., socialism, communism, capitalism, republicanism, etc.) are all historically liberal philosophies that find their roots in The Enlightenment.
Authoritarians of every stripe are assholes and should rightly be distrusted, ridiculed, and held in deep contempt by anyone who values free inquiry and thought and the principle of “consent of the governed”.
