lhonestly yes i believe *voters* should consider harm reduction when the other party is putting up nazis and fascists but the dem party cannot be pushing cardboard cutouts and saying “at least he’s not a klansmen!” and expecting to win?!?

the worst thing about the republican party is that they know what being a republican *is* which is why they’ve consolidated political power over the past 2 decades. what does the democratic party stand for? what are their principles? why should voters *keep* voting for them?

being the big tent party has fucked dems over. you can be a democrat because, well, you’re not a republican that’s for sure! so milquetoast white guys continuously get presidential noms bc the only goal for dems is beating the GOP, not, like, having policies
