Dear Democrats, stop telling me to fall in line and support HRC!

The truly immoral thing, which is argue as more immoral than any of Trump's positions, is the notion that incremental change is acceptable. What this "incrementalist" position essentially denotes is that it is OK to continue to leave millions uninsured, millions jailed and children dying because we can't take bold action and fight for the right cause. Similarly to how Noam Chomsky tells how our intervention in foreign countries with policy such as the Iraq war or the bombing of the pharmaceutical plant during the Clinton presidency are more immoral than the gruesome acts of terrorism. When we go ahead and drop bombs on a place with the intent of destroying nuclear weapons or getting oil or whatever be the cause, we are essentially confirming that we know that thousands of people are probably going to die, yet we just don't care, like "stepping on ants on the sidewalk", the argument is that terrorists at least acknowledge their victims as human beings. In the case of incremental change, the same moral reasoning applies. While we are caught up in bureaucracy and trying to come up with solutions that work for both working class or poor families AND the large corporations, we are essentially acknowledging that it is ok for change to be a long gradual process, even in the wake of all of the world crises we face today. Acknowledging this is the same as saying that we understand that millions of people will die, millions will be jailed and uninsured and homeless, but that is OK because we are moving in the right direction, right? Of course not, if you do not do all that you can to fight for every single suffering individual, and sit slowly as people continue to suffer each and every day, then you take an even more immoral position than somebody who fights for universal health care, or fights for a $15 wage, even if these things fall through in the process. Acknowledging that there's suffering and doing little to change it is much worse than trying your hardest but failing, completely unethical and unacceptable, and I will not fight for that. I will. it support anybody who does not fight for the right thing. I will NOT support somebody who thinks its ok to fight for corporate America and working America. I will NOT support somebody who thinks that we aren't ready to guarantee healthcare to everybody as a right. I will NOT confess my allegiance to somebody who avknowledges that people are suffering, yet will not take the stance to stand up for EVERY SINGLE individual and fight for democracy and fight for equality and fairness. HOW can you pledge your support to somebody who wants change to happen slowly, who thinks change is just a process, when while she is trying to work around the system and find solutions that can work for the big and the small, people will continue to suffer and die. Gradual change is immoral, and never will I support somebody who says they will find solutions that "can pass" when those solutions entail ignoring the hundreds of thousands of lives who have been suffering and will continue to do so.
