The urgency is always fresh, but the argument for lesser-evilism is so
tired and tiresome as to make one want to scream. The threat is always
"real" and "immanent," and the DP always our best and/or only hope
against it. Support of the two-faced plutocratic hacks of the DP is
always strategic, rather than ideological....bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
bla bla bla...................................

One may also say things such as,  There is never any urgency.  The
threat is never "real" or "imminent."  The Democratic Party is never the
best hope at any moment.  Voting strategically is never justified.  And
so forth.  But that would as wrong and self-defeating as what Michael D.
has said.
