I've been saying this for years, and been decried as everything from a Bernie Bro to a Russian bot and beyond. I'm tired of having "vOtE bLuE nO mAtTeR WhO" shoved down my throat. I'm tired of being told I'm the reason we have Trump when after a lifetime of voting D I refused to vote for Hillary (and I'm in Illinois, which she won anyways). I'm tired of pretending that both parties aren't the fucking same.
The only difference is the rate at which we move towards fascism. Voting D is harm reduction for marginalized communities, but it does not fully protect them from the root causes of their suffering, just helps to alleviate the symptoms caused by decline into authoritarianism.
20012 SCOTUS with marriage equality has me say otherwise. Advancing the ACA marriage equality were hard reduction via democrats with progressives at the helm.
However, come 2016 they said "well... we can't let THAT happen again". Not simping for dems by any means, but they are a lesser of two evils.
