Hasan is fundamentally illiberal, he doesn’t like democracy and he wants a communist revolution. It’s not about loyalty when you refuse to oppose the most harmful president. I care about harm reduction, which is definitionally good. The democrats right now are better in practically every conceivable way and we should be lifting them up, and they should not associate with illiberal people
I think the institutions are worth it. America is one of the most successful and powerful countries. Trump cut USAID which is predicted to cause millions of deaths. Millions of Americans and immigrants rely on American institutions: having a strong social safety net, academic research, international cooperation-all things under threat because of Trump. I care about the votes because it is something I can directly do to influence the system.
