    "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”

    “Let not any one pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm if he takes no part, and forms no opinion. Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing. He is not a good man who, without a protest, allows wrong to be committed in his name, and with the means which he helps to supply, because he will not trouble himself to use his mind on the subject.”

      You missed the second part: good men to do nothing, and your candidate to make a bunch of shitty shitty decisions.

      Bystanders have a duty to step in.

      Michael Moore called Trump a Molotov Cocktail in 2016.

      Project 2025 is going to reshape the federal government. It is structured as a new constitution. It defines the roles and checks/balances of various government agencies at greater specificity than the constitution.

      We need to produce a progressive counter constitution that promises something better.

      Project 2025 is a specific deal with America.

      We need a better offer, and the people need to trust that the person running will enact it.

        I agree with all that. I’m just asking you to stop coddling people who have made all our lives worse because they the prospect of voting vexes them. Do you think democrats will come up with better policies because they lost?

        We’re now further from a better deal for america than we have been in a while.
