This is the strategy that has been used by the Democratic party for my entire life as things get worse and worse.
You think you’re playing 5d chess and, with smug self righteousness, proclaim those that actually use their power that they are helping the fascists.
You’re like a worker trying to convince other workers not to vote for a union, because if we’re just nice to this other boss, they’ll eventually give the workers what they want.
You’re not smart.
You’re not pragmatic.
You just have no idea where power lies with the individual voter and how they can exercise it.
All in defense of someone who could stop a genocide with a single phone call, but won’t.
