Short-sighted self-serving is what happens when people promote a lesser evil out for fear of a greater one.

They are not willing to risk their lives in the pursuit of an end to our complicity in genocide. More concerned with their current sense of safety in the heart of the Empire than the violence employed to maintain it. Prefferring the surety of another four years where they don't have to think about politics over the chance for fundamental changes in how our political system functions when a large majority of the country aligns against a second Trump administration.

But hey, at least we can all look forward to doing this again when Trump runs in 2028, right? Democrats surely won't triangulate even further to the right in pursuit of the mythical moderate Republican voter, right?
