Are you saying that you should vote blue as a form of harm reduction, or are you being sarcastic?
Btw, either way it's kind of an American centric perspective. Here in the UK, the red party is the harm reduction party.
throw in a smattering of aristocratic titles, and yeah that describes UK politics.
Of course it is, even when the Democratic party has control of the Executive and House they talk about why they can't do anything, then the Republicans take control and ram through a bunch of shit and the Democratic party points and clucks their tongues at them. It's been that way since roughly Reagan.
To be fair, the American senate and house were not built to operate under blind fealty to a single party over country. Moving legislation quickly would require a strong majority. Without that it is a slow crawl or entirely unmoving. Holding up progress barely requires anything more than a single person, too. Which sucks entirely for general society which naturally sees progress.
You are talking about Keir Starmers party?
Only thing red about Kid Starver are his hands that are very red from all the blood falling on them.
That was nasty, he has upgraded to becoming Kid Starver.
Less of that messy blood.
There's also his support for the continuing bloodbath in Palestine, Yemen and Ukraine, if you want some more literal blood.
It is an american phrase yeah, I'm being sarcastic. The elections are rigged and you don't really have a say in the dictatorship of capital and white supremacy
