    The democrats excel at standing still, while the republicans always move right. They fit together like corporate peanut butter and jelly.

      Rachet theory. R moves one direction; D refuses to move in the other.

      It’s not entirely false, but it’s also not the whole story. Voting D is better than staying home. It might not be better than direct action – but given the size of the voting window, it’s probably not completely eclipsed by your activism. (If it is, watch out for the FBI and keep working for a better world, comrade.)
