Did you ignore everything I said? Nobody is saying “less evil is fine, let’s go for more evil”. Well, nobody who voted against Trump anyway.

Let’s try your analogy again: you were presented with a glass full of poison, and a glass half full of poison, and told you had to choose one to drink. If you did not choose the choice would be made for you.

Instead of choosing the glass half full then trying to find some way to reduce and mitigate the damage, people said “there’s no such thing as a lesser poison” and drank the full glass.

Nobody said “acceptable”. Moving from “more evil” to “less evil” is how you make progress towards “no evil”.

Same amount in Gaza, more in the US.

Lesser evil never leads towards better, it leads to worse.

Even more so with a greater evil.

Nobody is saying “settle for the lesser evil”. They are saying it’s easier to fight for progress against the lesser evil than the greater evil.

You mean some folks are okay with more genocide, as long as they pretend not doing the bare minimum to reduce the account of genocide absolves them of responsibility.

I’m going to blame the guy who tied six people to the tracks as well as the guy that didn’t pull the lever. I’m going to blame the guy who tied them to the tracks a lot more, but I can blame both.

Everyone has lost, and there’s more genocide.

For example, this post last month: https://lemmy.world/comment/21539323

I sent a new reply to that comment with a link to this article and they still replied “that’s how elections work and you need to wait until November”.

The state of Minnesota can wait until there is a more friendly administration

And this is why you can’t "wait until there is a more friendly administration: https://www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/house-passes-gops-sweeping-anti-voting-bill/

They will do everything in their power to make sure there never is a different administration.

To everyone saying people needed to wait until the mid-terms to take action: Fuck You.

There also has to be prosecutions and consequences for the murders.

Something I was just made aware of: after shooting and killing Alex Pretti, ICE officers then stood back and shot him 5 more times.

A lot of Trump’s power comes from the support of the oligarchs. Shutting everything down hurts them, and shows class solidarity which scares the shit out of them.

I agree with “don’t quit, impede” philosophy, but a very public show of support against these fascist actions is not something to dismiss.

The state of Minnesota can wait until there is a more friendly administration

People need to stop saying “wait until after the election”.

1. that’s over 2 years from now with a murderer free to kill more people.

2. this adminstration is going to do everything they can to make sure there isn’t a “next administration.”

These people saw The Handmaid’s Tale as a “How-to” guide.

No, that’s the stated purpose of the 2nd amendment. The real purpose is for emotional support rifles.

Shift? How can they shift towards white supremacy when they are already 100% white supremacy?

Don’t worry, Congress plans to hold a vote 3 weeks after Trump starts World War 3 to ask him to please stop.

the Justice Department is weighing how to bring federal charges against the shooter, including under a novel legal theory that it was an anti-Christian hate crime

authorities have produced text messages from the suspect to his partner saying he was motivated to kill Kirk because he had “enough of his hatred.”

So they’re straight up saying that American Christianity = Hatred.
