    That’s a pretty 1-dimensional perspective. If you understand both the shitty reality we live in AND that nothing is black-and-white, you will be a lot more effective at actually pushing the needle towards progress, like so many actual great activists have done which has gotten us to a world where your chances of being murdered and raped and eaten by bandits has fallen dramatically low.

        I understand that 100. People kept quiet about Fetterman and his worrying behavior before he was elected, then after his stroke when it was brought up repeatedly, people kept blaming the stroke.

        Yes, people change and maybe Fetterman did and the stroke caused regression; and maybe he didn’t and it didn’t.

        if it means supporting someone like this guy I’d rather be rotating on a spit tyvm

        That’s just utterly insane hyperbole that most likely has the opposite effect as you might think. I hope you grow more.
