   At some point, it became Democratic orthodoxy that we must never judge candidates or expect better from them because every election is the most important election in history, a never-ending crisis where we have to pragmatically make tough choices in order to avoid an even worse outcome.

   And fine, okay, but the crisis never ends, does it? The people who run on stopping the greater evil never do, nothing is done about it, our options get worse, and it feels like we're being taken advantage of.

     What you're not supposed to do is what you are doing in this toot: saying there's no difference. In a word, horseshit. There is a difference.

     They are not remotely progressive enough for anyone on Mastodon, but FFS can we please stop repeating this blatantly obvious bothsiderism?

     And no, this particular election *is* a crisis - it determines whether or not Americans will ever have another one. That has not remotely been a danger in any previous one in my lifetime.

     Just don't.
