Hence

Vote progressive in the primaries

Get enough Progressives and enough left-leaning Democrats together on the issue of rank choice voting, and it really could happen. Obviously, I'm of the opinion that it's the only way it could happen. So even if the chances are small, it's what I think we should shoot for.

Let's not pretend they don't know what they're doing. He means it exactly like that, and so does everyone who's listening to him.

That's how it's going to be as long as we continue to use First Past the Post voting.

And since the only people who have the desire, and potentially the power, to change that are Progressives who caucus with the Democrats, vote Progressive in the primaries and Democrat in the general. If you're not willing to do that, then yeah you might as well get comfortable with the current system.

And some that ran unopposed weren't unopposed until they harassed and threatened their opposition into dropping out of the race.

Just setting up plausible deniability against accusations of helping trump.

it's not like logical consistency matters to them.

In fact, fascists see the ability to just say whatever gets them the most power in the moment as a strength. They're not held back by "weaknesses" like truth and facts

All that matters to them is power

I'm not deluding myself about anything. The choice isn't "vote for or against genocide" it's "act to get less or more genocide". It's not a false dichotomy; if you're not voting to defeat Trump, then you're acting to get more genocide.

By not acting to defeat Trump, you're enabling genocide more than Biden ever has.

Google WPATH Standards of Care and read that document for the truth. It's the actual rules that doctors are supposed to follow for treating trans people.

Until you've read that, you can't have an informed opinion on the matter.

The thing is, police and politicians don't care about getting correct results, they only care about results. An innocent person convicted is still "case closed" and "another criminal punished."

Politicians can be made to care by threatening their jobs, but the police still don't give a shit about catching the right person as long as they can put somebody behind bars by any means possible.

I'm their view, the experts are part of the problem and should be ignored.

He's also said that he regrets a lot of that. 🤷🏻‍♀️
