The Democratic Party as a whole is like milk in your fridge that's a week past its "best by" date.

The Republican Party is milk that a dog vomited on a Texas in July sidewalk.

We're drinking one of them, because no alternative is possible in the near term.

It's possible to vote for Democrats in 2026 and '28 and '30 and '32 while we build an alternative that can have electoral success, or takeover the Democratic Party from within or heck turn the Republican Party into a party worth supporting...

If all the milk in my fridge is spoiled, I throw it out. Maybe try that?

Aye, we need a new system.

I cannot tell you how sick of these pithy little infantalising pseudo-analogies I am.

No, genocide is not like "milk that is past it's expectation date". Talk like a damn adult.

How about a nice contrived trolley problem metaphor. Everyone loves those.

80 million Dem voters (depicted as "crowd of NPCs" meme): "We are voting for Democrats in the near term because there is no other option"
