Fox News did not air a second of the speeches from alienated GOP leaders and former Trump officials who endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris at this week’s Democratic National Convention.

The point being made with their appearance is that Trump is so toxic and repulsive that defectors are actively coming out of the woodwork to endorse Harris. It's meant to appeal to independents and Republicans who see modern Trump and are increasingly off-put by him.

Now, they are all aggressively repulsive pieces of shit, sure. But I think we all agree that Trump is an even more aggressive piece of shit in comparison.

Participating in oppressor Olympics means you don't actually hold any values.

Refusing to participate in anything and just letting bad things happen means you don't actually hold any values.

Refusing to participate in anything

What are you saying? That First Past The Post voting disenfranchises a huge portion of the electorate by artificially limiting the number of viable political parties?

The "totally supports democracy" democrats are probably all over correcting this issue in the states they control right?

Yup, FPTP is garbage, and the US is a dumpster fire third world country with a Gucci handbag.

And yet, doing nothing can result in things getting even worse, so someone shouldn't pretend to have some sort of moral superiority over doing nothing from stopping napalm being thrown on the fire because "it's already burning anyway."
