That is the issue. I want to say people need to operate on more of a policy facing. "What do you support?" "Affordable housing and reasonable weath distribution", sick. Easy vote. Don't care if they're D, don't care if they're a liberal, don't care. Obviously that's very simple and naive. You have to do some labeling.
The problem is people have just given up on identifying the doublespeak. Trump got elected promising no new wars and some mediation on Gaza and was just straight lying. The median voter felt no reason to question it and a lot of well meaning people said 'this is better than silence on a genocide', and that was it. The thinking stopped and we threw the world's easiest choice the the most belligerantly narcississtic, indigent, and negligent person on the planet.
Now these dumbfuck tankies who crowd all of our pleasant fringe online communities are taking the bait again and using their refusal to acknowledge context to feel some kind of superiority about it. I'm so tired.
Edit because my typos were out of control.
