Lesser evil is still evil, and small acceptable levels of evil over the last 50 years has grown into an enormous evil. It has produced people like Biden and Trump as being viable options.

'lesser evil' relies on a constant hypothetical worse future so you dont focus on the horrible present. It keeps you fighting for a mythical future so you don't demand better now.

Brought to you by the same people that said, 'We need to protect democracy,' by installing the handpicked candidate of a private corporation thats been forced on the public,

Because there is no logic, I'm not trying to split leftists away from the Democratic candidate because if they are leftists they would not be voting for a Democratic candidate.

People have been saying it buys time for generations, buys time and what we have gained? Gained no more progress for civil rights and labor rights and wage rights and housing rights and healthcare rights. For the last hundred years we've been having the same conversations about these inequalities for several generations. And we will have these same conversations for the next few generations because we are getting nowhere because people have convinced themselves that they are buying time with a slow poison.

Harm reduction and buying time relies on a hypothetical worse future, so you don't spend time concerned about the horrible present. Keeping you always asking for the potential of something better later instead of demanding a better now

Liberals have somehow convinced themselves that a slow death via poisoning is somehow better than a fast death via poisoning. The prolonged agony of society because of that poison continues to poison generation after generation.

And it's fear of losing your crumbs why people will never find their proverbial balls and do what's right for people and society
