    Trump has me terrified of Trump, not the DNC.

    Lesser evil is a myth liberals tell themselves to justify doing what they know is harm.

    I think it’s far more varied than that. There are some “true” leftists in the Democratic party. I would much prefer ranked choice voting, proportional representation, etc. to represent all views. Moreover, the “lesser evil” is not merely an invention of the DNC – it’s what I view as objective reality. One side really does happen to be worse than the other. Either way we eat a shit sandwich, but one is gourmet shit and comes with the faint hope that one day I will be eating more palatable shit on perhaps higher quality bread.

    Thanks for the tidbit on Perkins. Do you have more information on how dems are fighting against socialism actively? From what I can tell, they are frequently trying to package “socialist” policies in way the average red-scare American can swallow (re:obamacare, market controls, regulation, etc.).

    At the end of the day, the choice is truly between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. There is zero (0.00%) room for anything else in the year of 2024. Short of a revolution, incremental change is what we are working with, and I will go to the polls to vote blue whether I have a grin or grimace on my face.
