From this interview. That was my and several
progressives' strategy when Hillary got the nomination. She was nowhere
near Bernie's agenda but in most ways far less evil than Dump. And I
figured at least she'd work with and likely pass most progressive
legislation, unlike Dump. But this time we have a chance for the most
good with Bernie, so let's hope we don't have to face the lesser of two
evils again. Chomsky:
“There’s another word for lesser evilism. It’s called
rationality. Lesser evilism is not an illusion, it’s a rational
position. But you don’t stop with lesser evilism. You begin with it, to
prevent the worst, and then you go on to deal with the fundamental roots
of what’s wrong, even with the lesser evils. [...]
You continue to try to organize and develop the mass popular movements,
which will block the worst and change the institutions. All of these
things can go on at once."
