Uh, yes. Definitely. 100%. To very slightly paraphrase Mikhail Bakunin from "God and the State", 'even if god really existed, it would be necessary to abolish him'. The very concept of a god is antithetical to ideas of liberty.

While you're sitting on your moral high ground, evil people are winning.

That makes you worse than a bystander. You're DECIDING to help the horrible people, actively, while knowing they're horrible.

That makes you a useful idiot. Stop being a useful idiot. This is the real world. It doesn't matter who is most correct in an ideal world when the world is full of terrible people doing terrible things. Either stop them, or don't.

Whining about how unfair things are is EXACTLY NOT stopping them. Do better.

Do better.

...He says, as he insists on doing the same awful thing that everyone else is doing.

No. I reject that. Do better by being better. You can't pick up authoritarian power and then just put it back down again. Or, that's never happened without a leader being forced to put it back down again. Democrats can, and need to, win by being a legitimate party, rather than by being the obverse side of the same coin.

No, I didn't say, "do the same thing"

I said "actually DO something with the same room that has ALREADY BEEN MADE". I made zero suggestions on specifics, so if you insist they're the same, you are just proving how uncreative and stupid you are by insisting someone with power cannot do good things.

The fact you repeatedly choose to misinterpret what I have already explained several times tells me you are a complete moron not actually engaging in the discussion.

Keep being an ignorant fuck as to how the real world works. You clearly are vested in your ignorance. Sad.

People CAN do good things with power. The fact you disagree with that basic truth... is just pathetic.

I said “actually DO something with the same room that has ALREADY BEEN MADE”

...Which is the same exercise of unjust authority.

You can't actually be this dense.

Unjust authority is unjust, regardless of the hand that wields it, regardless of intent. Using unjust authority in a way that you, personally, approve of does not make that authority just.
