"Lesser evil exists?" What if the "lesser evil" is just the good cop in a barely concealed good cop/bad cop routine?

It's not a bold statements that many senior democrats are thrilled that Trump is attacking Iran. This time, he's doing something they would have liked to but couldn't get away with.

Yes, voting matters, but organizing matters more. Until there's people who don't (secretly or openly) cheer for policies driving the world towards a cliff, voting matters little.

And on no account should you listen to the paid political operatives suggesting that the Democratic party's previous last minute offer would have gone significantly better.

I'm quite sure I was being clear when I called Democrats "pro-war neoliberals". Still, voting Democrat would have saved all those lives taken by the Trump administration up until this point.
