The lesser of two evils.

[amfortas the hippie]

84. who's more Trollish?

the folks who say,"hey, our party has been moving to the Right for 30 years, and I don't like it...what are we gonna do about it?"
or the guy who says" nothing to see , here..." and denies the objective reality of the former?
Of course, Lesser Evilism is necessary...sad fact.
IBut, rather than abandoning the lesser evil for the Greens, or whatever(there's a Platform I can get behind)...who have zero chance of winning(Nader Debate of years past), due to the entrenched duopoly...Seems more logical to agitate and holler at the Dems(who are a part of the duopoly), and force them back to the Left...more in line with what the Greens are doing.
Greens could be, to the dems...what the Libertarians, Birchers and TeaPeople are to the Repugs.
I hate to make that comparison, but there it is.
On that side, it turned out that all those Factions' Priorities were somewhat mutually exclusive.(reconcile the Words of Jesus, with Hyperindividualism, etc)...leading to the Great crackup we're having so much fun with, today.

Greens , imo, are close to what Liberalism means...and to what the Dems embraced, before the DLC, etc felt they had to lean so far to the Right, in order to remain relevant.
That Leaning, turns out, has been Bad for Dems...as evidenced in threads just like this...
It gives the Pseudo Libertarians, and Anarchists, an opening for their False Equivalency.

Since the Dems are the only part of the Duopoly that seems to have room for Liberal Thinking...I'll keep dancing with them...and push, push, push, to the Left.
To just ignore the long term Rightward swing...is Defeatist.
Thanks for the opportunity to speak.
