    This is true. The problem is, in a lot of US elections, you only have bad choices. You have really bad, and a little less bad than really bad. What I wouldn’t give for ranked choice voting.

      lesser evil won in 2020 & we got:

      • genocide
      • record police killings of Black Americans
      • record COVID deaths
      • record trans murders
      • 1st declared LGBTQIA+ emergency
      • homelessness criminalized
      • record inflation

      Democrats didn’t try to repeal the Patriot Act. They kept reauthorizing it. They didnt try to address Citizens United, they ignored it. They didn’t try to close Guantanamo Bay. They didn’t try to roll back ICE funding. And all the stuff that Trump is currently doing, they will do absolutely nothing to roll any of it back. Liberal lesser evil enables the greater evil. When liberals say lesser evil, what they mean is the same evil but affects them less.

        I will poke only one hole in your little list there.

        lesser evil won in 2020

        record COVID deaths

        pretty sure any number of deaths would’ve been record numbers…
