    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.

        People in this thread really do sure love telling me what my point is and getting it completely wrong somehow despite my having written literally thousands of words explaining my point today.

        My point is that there are only marginal differences between the Republicans and the Democrats, and that a stance of “Vote Blue, No Matter Who” is a completely ineffective measure of harm reduction in the long run, and actually makes things worse.

        Also, what “multiple genocides” are you referring to? I have some ideas but I don’t want to jump to conclusions.

          I was going to make some sort of sarcastic reply, but I’ll just let your question speak for itself.
