    This right here is some bottom-barrel reactionary thinking with a dusting of false dichotomy.

    1. The problem here is your definition of “good”. We don’t want “perfect”. We just don’t agree that Democrats are good. Democrats might be relatively better than Republicans but to a leftist, they are still far from being considered “good”. From a leftist perspective, enabling neoliberalist politics is in no way solving what we have now, only further enabling them to consolidate power over us until the fascist right can eventually take control and use the systems they BOTH have built to further oppress the people.

    2. there are more options than “support the Democrats or throw in the towel”.

    Yes, everything in life does happen in steps. The problem is thinking that the steps you are taking are leading you to the indented goal. If you only ever use reactionary thinking to justify your steps, you will be led astray by those in power who know how to manipulate your shortsighted logic.
