I disagree, although I have at one time or another used similar language.
The election of the worst excuse for a human being in the history of the world should serve as a lesson. Unfortunately, many saw the “choices” as nothing of the kind in 2016, and we ended up with a “Batshittery enabler” of epic proportions. The alternative could have ended up just as bad in a different manner, but reason and rationality would have at least been present in some minor iteration.
Choosing the “lesser of two evils” is, by definition, the best choice.
Positive changes never seem to just happen. I have lived through some examples of positive changes, but they were due to large scale involvement of the citizenry.
I am not sure that the will or willingness exists in the US today, to truly effect the changes needed. I hope I am wrong.
So, I understand your point but I am reluctant to fully adopt that stance. Giving up on it insures it will fail, imo…
