Yet we are currently living through what happens when you do that. While both options suck, I'm not going to contribute to accelerating a genocide and allowing for multiple new warfronts to open up. I'm rather vote for not having camps like alligator Alcatraz opening up.
I vote as far left as possible in primaries and the general but we're actively seeing what not voting against fascism gets you: fucking fascism. Has not voting against fascism stopped the bullshit DNC push of fucking Newsom? No. So non voters allowing fascism isnt exactly helping the cause.
I think most every president since FDR was ass. I also know letting the window shift further right isnt going to help. We should be making the furthest right candidate lose by tons each and every election just like the right shows out and keeps making that Overton window shift right.
Man its weird how defensive the purity voters got. Palestine is being wiped from the map and we're attacking other countries unprovoked but both sides amirite?
Every single one of these deaths could have been avoided if you didn't fall for the obvious divide and conquer strategy being peddled out by bad faith actors.
The entire reason the Overton window keeps shifting right is because the right wing assholes will vote lockstep for whoever the right candidate is. He may not be right enough for them, or he may be too far right for some, but they all fucking show up and vote.
Meanwhile, we can't get leftists to figure that simple fact out and then people directly helping these assholes wine about how the candidate wasn't perfect.
Yet they'll freely admit the overton window is shifting right. They've seen firsthand that red voters showing up and voting for their shitbag, even if they aren't promising to completely dismantle every institution they can like theyd want. Meanwhile, if we dont have a leftist messiah they'd rather stay home and bitch online.
One of these strategies has shown to work and it isnt theirs.
I agree almost entirely with what youre saying but let's not pretend like RGB not stopping down would have mattered. Republicans had already shown that they were willing to just leave the seat vacant for a year unless it was their guy nominating.
Id assume Trump would need to file a HIPPA release which ain't happening.
Now if this was a democratic president the supreme court would say that by accepting taxpayer funded healthcare, the citizens are thereby the payor/insurance company and that HIPPA authorizes release of protected health information to payors so the public is allowed to know subpoenad health information without a release.
You know damn well everything that restricts the individual will remain in place.
