We need to swiftly transform No Kings from a Democratic Party spectacle to a grass roots resistance movement.

        Liberal acceptance of a lesser evil allows a slightly larger evil with each increment has led to someone to the likes of trump occupying the White House. Your less evil has resulted in incremental fascism

          That is so fucking stupid.

          A lesser evil can also lead to less evil incrementally as progress is made. What you’re arguing for is to say that people should take a lesser evil and then take EVEN LESS evil than that. Your insistence on perfection will kill people.

          I get that you want to be sanctimonious, but saving one person now is better than saving two people tomorrow, because it has the potential to also save two people tomorrow.

          Watch as I use your same logic against you: Your no evil strategy resulted in Trump, and those Palestinians are grateful that you exterminated them faster. Nice going!

          See how stupid that is?

            There has been no progress made. The only difference is Democrats keep shifting to the right with Republicans. In case you don’t know turning into first-term Trump Republicans is not progress

              Cool, you didn’t listen. You are the average ML. You should feel proud to add this to your list of accomplishments.

                I don’t believe you are capable of arguing in good faith, right off the bat you tried to accuse me of personal attacks, but that’s all that you’ve done.

                  I’m sorry you feel that way. You are still a sanctimonious bystander. You can pretend you did the right thing while you watch people die and feel superior about it. It is certainly a way to sleep at night.

                    Democrats don’t care about people dying, they just don’t want to hear about it when it happens. They claim to be protecting the marginalized, who remain marginalized regardless which shade of fascism controls the halls of government, while supporting the systems that keep them marginalized. They put BLM in their profiles while demanding socialists and communists support the people that created the need for orgs like BLM to exist. We demanded the defending of ICE while Biden expanded the entire system, increasing federal funding to their highest levels, expanded detention centers, and militarized ICE. It wasn’t until Trump started utilizing that expansion that liberals had an issue with it.
