        . Continuing to vote blue no matter who makes everything worse.

        Jimmy Carter put solar panels on the White House in 1976. Every Dem candidate since Jimmy has been close to him politically.

        Back in 1976 people were being told not to vote for Carter because he wasn’t strongly against the racist South African regime.

        People like that were wrong then and you’re wrong now. “Not perfect” is much better than “truly evil.”

          Carter was a neoliberal who paved the path towards fascism that we are now walking on. He undermined FDR’s New Deal style policies, weakened labor unions and normalized austerity and pro-market, anti-regulatory reforms that his successor, Reagan, milked the shit out of. But, yes, he performatively put solar panels on the roof of the White House. You make my point for me.

            Yes, because your point was that there’s no difference between one genocide in Gaza and multiple genocides all over the world.
