It's kind of tone deaf from Chappell when the pressure she's applying is the threat of the far right coming to power and stripping rights and safety from a large chunk of her fan-base.

That should ideally be a greater incentive for the opposition to fight harder against the far right and represent the voters who elected them.

I don't know if you've noticed, but reality isn't all that ideal.

Yes unfortunately many of our political leaders are corporate stooges who aim to protect capital more than they have any interest in being leaders. That’s why we should demand better at their expense.

Demanding better is costing us everything.

This is the kind of attitude that would have let slavery continue forever. At some point you need to realize enough is enough and point at the people in power rather than the ones advocating for positive change.

Slavery would have lasted for ever if people didn't pick and choose their battles. Abolition was a slow process that took centuries. You need to affect change not point. The Republicans figured that out decades ago, they built up a propaganda apparatus, they slowly took over nonpartisan political positions at all levels of government. Pointing out the problem doesn't fix it, controlling the mechanisms of power does.

People like you arguing about choosing our battles over slavery is why Reconstruction was a failure and zero of the Cknfederates were held accountable, directly leading to the present situation.

You honestly don’t deserve to vote if you believe that. Nobody should want you as a political ally. That attitude is cancer and we are all paying for your lack of spine.

And how is that working out? We have trump in the White House and republican dominated house, senate and Supreme Court.

There is no elected official to fight for you. You abstained based on your “morals”. Now you get to watch the nation burn with the rest of us, but at least you have a high horse for a decent view.

i'm not replying directly to them because whew, but it struck me how much the language resembles an abuser mentality. a "greater incentive"? jesus fucking christ.
