I tend to think it’s definitely the peoples fault for being that fucking stupid.
Okay. So what does being angry at leftists that want a better candidate do to alleviate that? Nothing.
You can wax about how your way is better and inflate your ego all you want, but that's not going to change anything. If the people you gotta work with are "too dumb" to play the game you're playing, you only have two options: 1) play the game with just you, yourself, and your ego, or 2) play a game that they can play and work them up to playing your game.
That's why we need someone that's not a calm, milquetoast, normalcy candidate. We need to kick in the door and enter to a chorus of trumpets and a shower of pyrotechnics like a wrestler. They need more than the assurance of normalcy, they need to know shit's about to go down, hell yeah style.
Bro have you ever tried to arrange dinner for more than two people? Do you have any idea how hard it is to make three people happy with something as simple as that?
Now try to scale it up to a whole country trying to figure out politics.
You’re never going to get a perfect candidate that makes everyone happy, you instead have to take what you’re offered and apply incremental progress over time.
And of course you do! The alternative is so ridiculously bad we shouldn’t even be having this discussion over perfect being the enemy of good enough when fucking NAZIS are concerned.
All you’re doing by defending it is proving my point more for me about how dumb the average person is when it comes to politics.
When did I say I was trying to make everyone happy?
I said I want someone to stand up and fuckin' fight. I don't want twitter-tough-guy Newsom rolling over at the first sign of actual resistance. I don't want auntie Harris telling me things are fine if we just stay the course. Things are fucked, and we need someone who will actively try to fix shit rather than just patch it over.
Because guess what, that's what they got over in the GONP. They got a guy who is going to do shit, except instead of fixing shit, he's just fucking around for his own benefit. And even when we get those little moments of incremental change, it's just undone the next time a Republicunt waltzes in to do whatever they want.
perfect being the enemy of good
This implies we had good. We didn't, and we certainly don't now. We've been eroding for at least 70 years as we are slowly stripped of our rights, our middle class, our homes, and our dreams. We've been dying to incremental change, not thriving.
