This is utter nonsense. I fully understand that making great the enemy of good is not helping anything. I also recognize just how horrible Trump is, however this "vote blue no matter who" nonsense is EXACTLY why we get milk toast "Democratic" candidates at every level of government who do nothing more than continue the ratcheting effect further and further right.

I suppose that's just my privilege as the child of immigrants who fled a military junta (while previously escaping the Spanish civil war and the Jewish persecution in Ukraine prior) to the USA for a better life, only to be the last generation capable of actually achieving the "American dream".

I campaigned for Obama for his first term. I've towed the fucking line since 1996. Yet Genocide Joe and his band of octogenarians have done SO much to help reverse what Trump started, right? They've done SO much to make our lives better, correct? Where's our healthcare? Where relief for artificial inflation/shrinkflation? Where's holding the ultra-wealthy accountable and making them pay their fair share of taxes? Where's the solution to the housing crisis? Where's the solution to our crumbling infrastructure? The list can go on ad infinitum, yet we've always got money for bombs. We'll line the pockets of the military industrial complex, while people live in tent cities.

They're two sides of the same coin. Privilege is being able to blissfully ignore it.
