The logic you’re using is really dumb coming from someone not in the ruling class.
Your one bit of power is to say, “I’ll vote for you if you put forth a candidate I can get behind.” The second you accept the terms of “you have to vote for X, because Y is worse” you lose all political power. They can do anything they want. They can lie about anything. They don’t have to do anything to fight for your vote.
I’m just sick of this smug bullshit from people practicing “real politik”. You don’t live in a democracy, you’re openly admitting it, and you can’t even see it.
Well I don’t like the fact that this candy tastes like ash and is said to cause cancer in 10 years but at least it’s better than the other candy that advertises as being full of cyanide and hallucinogenics. That one seems bad.
Oh that’s awful why not just buy a different candy entirely?
WHAT?! We couldn’t do that because then the ash candy company says everyone will buy the death candy instead.
Oh, but it looks like they are the same manufacturer!
Well of course they are. They had to make a second candy so people could choose. They are the only company allowed to make candy according to them. And those are the only options possible.
CHOOSE ANOTHER MANUFACTURER! There is no way that best we have is death or ash unless we have truly given up and then we deserve whatever we get.
Okay but you’re living in a fantasy world. In reality, it’s a 2 party system and you vote for the guy who will fuck you over least. Project 2025 is the plan. Let’s not have Project 2025 come to fruition.
