What do you think about the concept of lesser evil? (i.e. when faced with selecting from two immoral options, the less immoral one should be chosen.) (thelemmy.club)

Or arrogance and hubris of villains in politics, painting themselves as the lesser evil while aligned with their opposition against the voters they hsve contempt for.

Hey you're finally getting it I see.

[โ€“] hector@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Finally is not accurate, I have known this my entire life and for over 16 years have been evangela sizing about the need for better opposition politicians offering a new deal rather than plutocratic rot led by the most unpopular candidates they could possibly find. Unpopular and candidates not fit for the moment. Everyone knows they are being screwed if not by whom. It has long been clear either the Democrats channel that anger or the Republicans will. The Democrats refused so now the Republicans will. And those Democrats are blaming everybody else. But they knew the situation and refused to change their strategy written in 1990.

You're the "western governments vs eastern governments" racist guy. Do you finally get that you were fucking wrong?

Says the brigading tanky stroking off Russia and China.

Your argument is too stupid to refute, only a total fucking moron would want China or Russia's government, get the fuck out of here.
