Activists for “the lesser evil” have so abstracted “the lesser evil” that it has become an empty signifier for anything they’d settle for at any moment. “The lesser evil” has no specific red lines because it serves as a waiting vessel to be filled with any action short of ill-mannered behaviors.
If you vote for “the lesser evil” every year but each year that lesser evil gets more evil then you aren’t doing harm reduction you’re just letting evil slowly run roughshod over you and your community

Elections are about managing the population, giving them the illusion of involvement to avoid a revolution - they're not about what voters want at all.

If you magically believed that the release of the Epstein Files would spell the end of US fascism, then maybe you should become more radicalized.
The Epstein scandal is taking down Europe’s political class. In the US, they’re getting a pass.
As Europe moves to address its shame, it’s highlighting the comparative lack of accountability in the U.S.

Electricity rates are among the highest in the entire U.S.
Heat waves are getting intense in the summer, and outages mean A/C is no guarantee for an aging population.

The incremental Nashville Plan:
“To further soften the impact of these gradual changes, a liberal transfer policy would be introduced, allowing students whose race was in the minority in their newly assigned schools to opt for a majority-status alternative—that is, choose to remain in segregation.”
