Your argument is that you're mad that a political party fundraises and therfore you'll continue to support conditions that allow fascism to grow?

I mean the gop does the same thing except they also actively take away rights and stoke an environment of stochastic terrorism so...

No.

My argument is that the two parties are functionally the same. You're voting for fascism no matter which lever you pull. The difference is between perpetrator and collaborator.

This is a ludicrous assessment.

How is a vote for Biden a vote for facsism?

Edit: Sorry, let me clarify. I read your previous remarks. I agree that the democrats (the corporate centrist wing) are more concerned with fundraising and corporate lobbying, doing the neo-liberal bare minimum. You are correct.

But you realize that by sitting out this election you are helping to elect literal authoritarian fascists, yes? Which is worse than shitty neoliberals by a very wide margin.

I appreciate your opinion. I've outlined why I feel that way further up in the thread.

You're a useful idiot for the republicans.
