    Yep. I enjoy hypothetical discussions about how to fix our shit to benefit humans as much as anybody else.

    But that’s the wall I mentally run into every time: dozens of millions of people voted for the obvious greater evil THREE consecutive times.

    And these weren’t some kind of bland Romney v Obama elections that were very much two sides of the same coin. They were random politician v dementia predator Hitler and roughly half of voters were smashing that pedoHitler button.

      Maybe if you’re running against pedohitler, don’t do shit that’s unpopular with your base just because you really want to.

        Oh yeah, the DNC is crappy controlled opposition that normally exists to make conservative ideas seem liberal/leftist to americans.

        … But that still means tens of millions of people actively choose the nightmare over the boring uninspiring candidate. Both things are true and both are bad. :/
