    The people who say just voting for the lesser two evils works, well Trump proved them wrong. At some point there has to be a major change.

    I’m not connecting the dots here. How did voting for the biggest evil ever (Trump) prove that voting for the lesser of two evils doesn’t work? Wouldn’t Kamala winning (“the lesser evil”) and things getting worse prove the point? We’re not in that timeline so nothing was proven other than the obvious-voting for a wealthy rapist conman who bankrupt multiple casinos is not good for the common person.

      The line connecting the dots is Joe Biden, or Obama (Obama didn’t campaign on being the lesser of two evils, but that’s basically what he was), or Clinton, or… you get the point. Lesser evil Democrats have repeatedly won elections but failed to consolidate their gains into something that doesn’t just produce more fascism after four or eight years. Because you can’t just win the war; you have to win the peace or you end up losing the next war.
