Also good to keep THIS SHIT in mind:
This so much.
I keep watching like, TYT talking about how betrayed they feel by Beto and wanting to scream for exactly this reason. Did I like him better when I thought he was SuperProg? Probably. Does shooting him down as a traitor serve anyone’s ends but my enemies’? NO CENK IT REALLY DOESN’T CUT THAT OUT.
Cenk Ugyar is a goddamn idiot. He really is.
It’s not even about us, y’all. Hillary had the votes. More votes than Trump. It’s about the goddamn, motherfucking electoral college, which should have been abolished ages ago. But go off, I guess.
Hey, guess what. You aren’t wrong. But the electoral college isn’t going away anytime soon. Certainly not before we elect someone more liberal/democratic/leftist/not-a-fascist in the first place.
The original post is true. We can’t fall for the divisive maneuvers of the right anymore. The system may be unfair, but it is established. And the only way to take down something that established is from inside (staging a coup and decapitating various members of the aristocracy isn’t an option in our scenario). You have to work with it to change it, and sometimes you have to put up with things that leave a bad taste in your mouth, like voting for a candidate that isn’t perfect, and like voting and knowing the electoral college will probably mess with the accuracy of popular opinion.
But honestly? If we follow the rallying call posted by OP, we at least have a real chance against a rigged system. I’ll take a bigger chance over a smaller chance any day, wouldn’t you?
