    I responded to you elsewhere. You’re not choosing your side, you’re choosing your opponent. Between the two, I prefer the Democrats as my opponent. I should hope that most thinking leftists feel the same. The only reason to choose the Republicans is accelerationism, and ethically I can’t justify “What if we just sent the orphan crushing machine into overdrive so it overheats?”.

      But you justify “we need to make sure the orphan crushing machine never overheats and can run indefinitely?”

      “What if we just sent the orphan crushing machine into overdrive so it overheats?”

      Bad way of putting it, that would be preferable than Democrats maintaining said machine for way longer
