      Absolutely nothing… hence the It needs to change bit.

      Realistically it’s the same question I could pose you saying just play the game… What exactly does picking the “lesser of two evils” net us? A race to the bottom. It’s not ideal nor does it work. The most recent election is a perfect example of this.

        MAGA played the game better than liberals. They got Trump. He’s effectively a third party candidate. Republicans hated him. But liberals whine about “lesser of two evils” while maga voted.

          Republicans hated Trump during (and only during) his initial run for the presidency. He was a grifter saying whatever he could to get a vote and his platform seemed threatening to them initially. Once they realized how easy he was to control they had no issue with him. He’s a useful idiot who thinks he’s winning a game of checkers when everyone else is playing chess.

          Speaking of games - as far as I can tell MAGA isn’t playing any game at all: they are simply a hate group with a figurehead.

          …but I’ll bite - what game do you think they are playing?
