    me:

    the democrats have no principles and don’t actually oppose fascism

    you:

    I’m not even saying you’re wrong about the Democrats

    the democrats are not credible opponents of fascism, the only people responsible for their failures are them.

    you can blame me all you like, but i think the people enabling a feckless opposition in the face of climate catastrophe and rising fascism are the ones fucking things up for your kids.

      And yet there is no other alternative that actually exists, so we’re stuck with them, credible or not! The only – only! – way forward that has even a slim chance of success is to try to get better people to win Democratic primaries, not to suicidally punish them in the general election. At that point, they’re the least-bad option no matter how feckless they are!

      That’s reality in accordance with the cold hard math of game theory, and nobody gives a fuck if you like it.
