        I don’t think we should really be heralding the “better” side as the ones that are going to save us. Remember their goals are ultimately the same.

        Not really.

        A guy standing in a room watching a rape or murder is also irredeemable scum.

            I can and will argue that its just as bad. Kinda like pointing and laughing at shipwreck survivors before you leave them to drown.

          There is a reason however that in such cases the law differentiates between murder and accessory to murder. The latter carries less severe penalties. They are simply not the same thing and one is objectively worse than the other.

        I agree, but also don’t think we should be so devoted as to defend them for being the only ones who can help us and having them watch and do nothing. They’re more concerned with the people running on doing more. Is that an Ally or just the weaker of two enemies?

          We should absolutely push the Democrats to do better and support DSA and other farther left candidates. Short term though, they are the best chance to wrest control of the government back from the MAGA fascists.
