#trump wants #israel to "finish the problem" in #gaza while #biden started withholding arms at one point because of the #genocide

both the #democrats and #republicans suck

but one is better, and one is worse

if you hew to the standard of perfect and don't #vote or vote 3rd party, you help get us worse

i don't like that. but that is reality

you *never* get perfect as a choice

you must choose better, and *iterate*

#toxicidealism is self-destruction

no

not voting has no blame in the minds of some on the #left

because their personal feeling about themselves is more important than mattering in the world

so voting for a #candidate they feel is impure is so terrible, they don't #vote, then the #right wins

that's #toxidealism in a nutshell:

people whose personal sense of their #ideological purity, how they feel about themselves, is more important than messy impure strategy to get effective change in the world
