  • Like all meaningful change, you have to convince enough people to get involved and to do so more often and consistently than every four years at the Presidential general election. It’s this belief that the change is going to come from the parties that is the core problem. Everyone complains about having to vote for the lesser of two evils, but then they do it and go back to sleep for another four years. At best, they just gripe about the government never acknowledging that they are responsible.

    1. I put religion in quotes to try to appease this take.
    2. You are being exceedingly literal and selective in your definition of religion.
    3. Ceding all rights to the word ‘religion’ to the xtian fundamentalists is not a good strategy.
    4. Your extreme position limits your ability to bridge with others which also limits your ability to affect change.
    5. I’ve had my ‘militant atheist’ phase and shared your inflexibility in the past. It wasn’t healthy for me and it wasn’t helpful for anyone.



  • The “lesser evils” are the Greens and PSL

    Don’t be obtuse. Either the Democrat or the Republican is going to win. Those are the only two you get to choose from at the moment. You have to start long before the general election if you want to change that reality.

    They are both unacceptable evil, period. T

    Then don’t vote at all or vote third party, but know that by doing so you’ve supported Trump. You will be personally responsible for Trump winning. Sleep tight.

    Don’t bother replying if you are just going to continue parroting the Russian propaganda.


  • Are the Russian Trolls in the room with us? Probably…

    If you don’t like the FPTP voting, do something about that. If you don’t like voting for the lesser of two evils, do something about it besides waiting until that is the only choice.

    • Fact 1: Right now, your only choice is to vote for the lesser of the two evils, unless you want to help the worse of two evils.
    • Fact 2: Harris is, by a very large margin, the lesser of the two evils.
    • Fact 3: Your ‘messaging’ is helping Trump

    Do with the facts what you will, but know that the messaging of “the Russian trolls” is to do anything possible to diminish support for Harris either directly or indirectly. Like it or not, you are “on message” with those who would choose to see Trump win.
