Ok, but that's still what the actual state of our government is, so maybe let's try voting based on reality and what side will hurt us less.

We'll sit home and just hope the completely psychotic side doesn't win? Because we wish the other side was better and don't want to let them think they can win with the minimum effort? How many innocent lives are we willing to bet on this gamble?

All I've ever been trying to say is that, when it comes down to it, literal election day with ballot in hand, how does someone not choose the less damaging option just because it's the less damaging option? How would there be doubt in that moment?

This doesn't actually address the problem though. It doesn't even halt it. We still have massive problems. Our healthcare is bad, our infrastructure is bad, our government still routinely fucks up minorities and nothing is done about it. We don't regulate pricing on things and the divide between upper and lower classes is still there... People in the US are still dying from preventative healthcare issues... The way we are hurt goes well beyond what you're saying and criticism, I might add, has nothing to do with this.

Which doesn't address the point in the least.

Which still addresses nothing. Which is why I feel that people like you attack this point more. Because it's easier to take that route instead of acknowledging the fuckery that's happening.

We can't continue in this environment. If democrats wise up to the fact that all they have to do is be "less bad than Republicans," we are not eating good as us voters. The problem is that some people in this topic have stealth turned this subject from criticism to voting just so they can argue this point away.
