telling them any Democrat that runs is going to be the same

No, not the same. Any Democrat will make things even worse than they are now. The speed of worsening will just be slower than under Trump. Vote for them if you want, sure, but don't lie to people. False hope in the Democrats is what really kills any hope for the revolutionary change that is so badly needed and that is the only thing that can save us (I mean the whole world, not just the US).

"False hope in the Democrats is what really kills any hope for the revolutionary change"

thats like, your opinion. meanwhile people are being killed and countries taken over.

Their point is that those things happen under Democrats too, like Obama destroying Libya and authorizing bombing civilians in countries the US wasn't at war with, or Biden supporting the extermination of Palestinians, not to mention the hundreds of thousands killed by sanctions they supported. The US being evil abroad is bipartisan.

its just so frustrating to hear my peers saying that feckless ineffective attempts to stop doom is the same as full throated doom. makes me feel crazy that more of my comrades dont discuss or abide by a harm reduction approach. we cant let perfection be the enemy of our own goals.

I understand, I'm not against harm reduction personally but we can only stop this if we go beyond voting
