Reducing harm by voting for the dixiecrat who stood by and let Roe v Wade get shredded, and then dismantled the railroad strike, which coincidentally led to a 38-car train derailment and massive chemical spill in Ohio just a few weeks later

We've reduced so much harm! maybe-later-kiddo

Well it could be all of the above + drag queens in jail, plus you jail for your radical communist ideas, + me not able to get my medication + gay people not getting married and afraid to come out in fear of losing their jobs. But I guess it's all the same right?

i've always found 'it could always be worse' to be the most compelling argument out there

it's still going to be those things. republicans are effective at moving toward those goals, and democrats are ineffective at stopping them. they're two parts of a one-way ratchet.

vote if you want, but don't sell it as a solution. you're not going to get real change that way, and pretending otherwise is just a way to anesthetize yourself and not organize.
