"But he is left-leaning and the lesser of the two evils!1!!1!1!!" - eviltoast

Maybe the purpose of a system is what it does…
Maybe trying to lower the rate/efficiency of the baby-killing machine is the wrong approach…
Maybe you should be thinking about destroying it…

    The thing about picking the lesser evil is that it’s supposed to make the sides compete against one another. It doesn’t take a single election to change the atmosphere of politics. It takes many iterations to make the politicians understand what the people want, if the only communication from the people is via voting.

    That’s why you pick the lesser evil, because the only way they would otherwise make things worse is by joining up and working together to destroy the country and its people. But then you have bigger issues than democracy.
