Don't let perfect become the enemy of the good. Everything in life happens on steps. It's important to tackle the problems we are facing now rather than throw in the towel as this meme suggests.
This right here is some bottom-barrel reactionary thinking with a dusting of false dichotomy.
The problem here is your definition of "good". We don't want "perfect". We just don't agree that Democrats are good. Democrats might be relatively better than Republicans but to a leftist, they are still far from being considered "good". From a leftist perspective, enabling neoliberalist politics is in no way solving what we have now, only further enabling them to consolidate power over us until the fascist right can eventually take control and use the systems they BOTH have built to further oppress the people.
there are more options than "support the Democrats or throw in the towel".
Yes, everything in life does happen in steps. The problem is thinking that the steps you are taking are leading you to the indented goal. If you only ever use reactionary thinking to justify your steps, you will be led astray by those in power who know how to manipulate your shortsighted logic.
I'm not telling anyone to throw in the towel, just expecting people to hold those they support accountable for being shitheads. 🤷🏽♂️ Criticism of the US duopoly isn't intended as nihilism, and it sucks that people are translating it that way.
Honestly it's all irrelevant because the democratic party is on the brink of ceasing to exist.
Careful, you'll get thrown into blame for Renee's death next too.
