      The evil of the right is self-evident.

      But I count it more evil to pretend one is progressive and then do exactly the same things the right-wing people are doing.

          Not at all.

          Democrats, by and large, don’t accept any criticism of their party, preferring instead to make excuses or feign powerlessness on the part of their elected officials. (They share that trait with Republicans, in fact.)

          And then an instance happens where having the same position as the Republicans means you either have to accept genocide or pretend in your head that you’re still morally superior while the president you want us all to vote for sends the weapons over to make it happen.

          It’s like that meme with the red button. Your cognitive dissonance is impressive.
