    You are litterally doing the thing that handed the country to fascists: you are a fascist enabler.

    If you continue to blame voters instead of those in power, you are supporting fascism, and we should ALL collectively recognize you as a fascist.

      Yeah, fuck me for thinking vote for the lesser evil and work towards better rather than let the greater evil win and then??? How dare I desire not to worry about gestapo throwing me in a hole for my skin color while I fight for better. Instead of fighting for better im just fighting to survive. Fucks sake.

        Lesser evil never leads towards better, it leads to worse. A small acceptable amount of evil allows for a larger evil the next time. 50+ years if that shit and here we are

          Lesser evil never leads towards better, it leads to worse.

          Even more so with a greater evil.

          Nobody is saying “settle for the lesser evil”. They are saying it’s easier to fight for progress against the lesser evil than the greater evil.

        Yeah. Fuck you for that. Thinking like that blew the fucking election and handed the country to fascists. Thats what we’re saying. Accepting or advocating for lesser evil loses elections time and again. If you were advocating for that approach in 2023/4, the fascism is on you.

        Its the entire point we’ve been making since 2023.

        Reminder that there are more then two choices on every ballot in every county. If you don’t bother using them because you really think “your team” should win, then you don’t really have any business participating in democracy.

          Sure, that sounds good to say in theory, but I’m sure you’re aware that a First Past the Post voting system kinda makes a third party effectively a wasted vote. Normally I’d support a third party absolutely, but in the last election, a vote that wasn’t for Dems was, unfortunately, a vote for Trump and I’m having a hard time believing you’re actually so dense as to not understand that

            You will never get to vote for change if you always accept what you are given. Every single election since I started paying attention to politics has been “the most important election in my lifetime.” So with your thinking there is never a time to vote for your values, only the values Capitalists have enshrined in both candidates by choosing which candidates of both parties are “electable.”

              Thanks for making assumptions about my beliefs, especially when I specified I would support a third party normally, but critical thinking does seem to be your weak point.

              Dems are evil, Republicans are also evil, but damn, one of the two choices wasn’t going to go full mask off and start speedrunning Hitler’s playbook and you damn well know that.
