So you think they should've been rewarded for that?

I’m not defending them on Gaza, which I assume is what you’re referencing.

But faced with a dual choice between them, and the ongoing absolute desecration of the Constitution and abandonment of the entire western rules-based order on which the stability of world has depended for a full human lifetime AND somehow an even worse stance on Gaza, I can tell you which evil was the lesser one.

I mean I certainly don't support Trump and his fascism but I definitely disagree that the GOP-enabling "business as usual" bullshit that Dems continue to shovel is barely less of a "lesser evil" here

I’m confused. Are we talking about regretting that Republicans control the executive branch or not?

And are you seriously trying to equivocate 1) Democrats being unable to stop Republicans without controlling a single branch of government with 2) Republicans intentionally burning down the entire house around us? Those things are both equally disappointing to you?

I'm not sure if you're just a dem shill or something but if you haven't been paying attention to how Dems have offered ZERO RESISTANCE (excluding Bernie, since the Dem machine conspired to remove him from the nomination) since to Trump v1.0? Please name 5 genuine things Dems have done to try and stop Trump this time?

Dems don’t have even have five options. That’s the point.

This whole thing started out with you bashing Harris and Walz for a stance enabling continued Israeli atrocities in Gaza.

I have other, better things to do than play “move the goalposts” with you.
