    Wait, so it’s up to me to sweep all of the bullshit under the rug so we can trick people into voting for the lesser evil instead of the Democrats being responsible for giving the people what they want and need?

    Wtf

      I’m not saying that. I’m describing cause and effect.

      You need to ask yourself what is more important, consequences or virtue? Because sometimes you don’t get both.

        What’s more important to me is that we demand better from our elected officials and stop accepting “at least it’s not the very worst” as acceptable.

        You can Susan Collins at me all day but you’re never going to convince me to go out and cheer on “could be worse, bro”. I KNOW it could be worse and that’s why I vote against republicans but I’m going to demand the people I vote for DO BETTER.

          Our officials mostly lost this election. And might not even have a chance to run again.

          Demanding better can be phrased in a way as to not encourage people to abstain form voting them in.

          Its doesn’t really matter anymore.
