Good politician-bad politician ruse imo. It’s not the age so much as the recorded history. That Overton Window is so right, it’s wrong, now.
So what's the solution? Again, voting is the only real way to get any change done right now, and while it's minimal, I'd rather have a politician that has a minimal good effect vs none at all. The right thrives on voter apathy, they want you to feel like both sides are the same so they can take power, strip away voter rights, and stay in power - exactly what's happening in conservative states like Florida and Texas.
Trust me, I want there to be another option, some sort of large-scale protest or revolution. But in lieu of that, the least we can do is make sure the minimal amount of damage is done.
Everyone who thinks a third party vote is wasted and holds their nose to vote for the establishment candidate could actually try voting third party. Robert Reich endorsed HRC at one time and he currently urges us to vote third party.
Last time I voted third party, trump got elected. So until we at least get something done about the supreme court I'm not doing that again.
Telling people to vote third party in the current political atmosphere is just trying to divide a party's votes. You can say you voted on your principles from as high a tower as you want as the world burns when the worst case scenario happens.
I said everyone has to do it or yeah, we get the hose again and again and again.
