        At least with the bad choice more people would have energy and resources to fight back in more meaningful ways.

          Worse option is exiling American citizens, tanking the economy, persecuting minorities, taking away rights, ignoring the constitution and, notably, full backing genocide in Gaza.

          Bad option would not act to stop genocide in Gaza.

          Clearly the same thing.

      • So i said let it all fall.

        Otherwise the material reality is that you got out the way for the worse choice. Obstruction isn’t ideal, but its helpful none the less

      That was never the criticism from anyone actually opposing Trump. The criticism is that she built her career as a cop, locking people up for minor offenses, fighting to keep them in prison for cheap labor, and then went on to campaign for the most lethal military machine on Earth. But sure, go ahead and whitewash her record because it’s easier to joke than to confront the fact that your “lesser evil” still has blood on her hands.

        I only really saw those criticisms of her from people already on the left. What I saw (in generalized and slightly exaggerated manner) from conservatives was, “NO, SHE’S A LIBERAL, WOKE, COMMUNIST WHO WANTS TO DESTROY AMERICA!”

        To which most people I saw on the left respond with, “Communist? The former cop and DA?”

          Every criticism presented is completely true. She would have been better than trump, but she was a terrible Democratic candidate. She would have made a better Republican candidate. Her campaign would only needed to have focused on her prosecutorial career.
