The least bad choice was, and always will be, to never negotiate with terrorists, and always vote NO to anything the GOP ever proposes, ever and always.
For me, it’s because I invested 13 years into that website, as a mostly-apolitical, slightly left-of-center normie; and then one day they decided that saying “we need to be punching Nazis” or “fuck Elon” is somehow too extreme now, and something we don’t talk about anymore (even in hypotheticals or semi-jest - I mean most of us are just keyboard warriors ffs, and we ain’t out there punching anybody).
Back in my day, saying “we should punch Nazis” was a good thing.
So yeah, I harbor some resentment. I lost some connections with some nerdy, niche, non-political interests and hobbies of mine, just because I hate Fascism so, so very much, and I was willing to say so.
You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after every other option has been exhausted first.
