    So you know you can do an easy action to make some people’s lives better, to delay fascism, and save minorities from a plan to essentially wipe them out, but you won’t because of principles? Because of some notion that the Democratic party will learn from losing?

    You know that they lost in 2020 to a fascist. This already happened and the result was 4 years of hell for every minority group in the country. Why do you think this would be any better, or accomplish anything?

      […]but you won’t because of principles?

      No, I won’t because the party will not change direction without electoral consequences.

      A vote for pro-genocide Democrats at this point is still a vote for inevitable fascism and increasingly worse civil strife.

      A delay is only useful if the people you’re giving power to will use it to fight. Biden and corporate democrats have proven beyond any dispute that they will not fight. That’s how we got here, by relying on corporate democrats to stem the tide.
