despite my christman bashing earlier i appreciate his references to Tammany Hall. you don't have your vote bought by democrats for monopoly money. u need to be the vote buyers and have all the christmas turkey-bought votes ready to walk from the democratic party and sink it etc so you have a gun to their head. if you're not strong enough to stand on your own. you don't just expend political energy to help your opponents because "you don't have other options"

seems like that's a pipe dream to people rn therefore the harm reduction arguments

turns into this individualistic decision about where to put My Vote™️
