When the group with the most control within government at the moment is 1. The most extreme, 2. does not compromise at all, and 3. is pushing to strip rights from people, tell me what the options left are. At this point it’s not even about left vs right or any of that nonsense. It’s about preventing fascism from having a chokehold on the livelihood of the working class.
I’ve been pretty direct about the way I see it. I don’t see how I’ve moved goalposts. Extremism forces us to the most rudimentary set of options: help burn the house down, watch it burn, or try to put it out.
To be clear, I’m not a “vote blue no matter who” dipshit, and I can’t stand conservatives or libertarian types. The US duopoly is to blame for our lack of options, and when fascism has intertwined itself with your country’s leadership in the form of people like Netanyahu getting a standing ovation like Hitler did, options become… limited.
Yes, the only options are left, do nothing centrist, or extremist right.
Don’t have time to debate you right now, but that is an absolutely absurdist level false dichotomy and cheetah speed goalpost moving.
