Sorry to beat the same drum in a short amount of time, but this is where thinking Biden wasn't doing enough has led. Perfect being the enemy of the good and all. Explicit calls for ethnic cleansing were at least not on the table with the last administration.

So the solution to a society that's propagandized to the point that people legitimately think allowing Trump to have the white house is 'no different' from making sure he doesn't get it is.. not trying to convince anyone that they've been misled? Not trying to point out how utterly foolish that kind of thinking is?

Literally just: don't fight the propaganda machine? Let it happen meekly and quietly? Don't spend any energy on trying to point out how utterly stupid it is to allow the worse option because you don't absolutely love the marginally better one that will save lives?

Not sure how you could read my comments and come to the conclusion that I’m ready to just lay down and die ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
