  • is this what “working on a ceasefire” means to you?

    this is the one image I can post. the other results of the current administration’s policy would get removed for gore. personally, I think if you’ve been “working on a ceasefire” for nearly a year now, and the result is 2000 lb bombs being dropped on tents in a refugee camp, then you’re not really working towards a ceasefire and are instead just lying.

    this is not even mentioning policies on the homeless, immigrants, fracking, military spending, healthcare, all of which are significantly more to the right than they were in 2020. medicare for all isn’t even mentioned any more. dems used to advocate for a path to citizenship for immigrants, that’s gone out the window too.

    In their moral justification, the argument of the lesser evil has played a prominent role. If you are confronted with two evils, the argument runs, it is your duty to opt for the lesser one, whereas it is irresponsible to refuse to choose altogether. Its weakness has always been that those who choose the lesser evil forget quickly that they chose evil.
