"You have no real choice in US but to vote for genocide"
yes, thank you for this searing critique of electoralism that everyone here is already aware of
The two aren't equal. In our two party system, a vote for Biden is a vote against Trump. Sometimes the best option you have on a ballot is harm reduction, you can't expect voting to fix everything. We need to organize outside electorialism, but voting is still an essential task in slowing down fascism.
Sounds like a totally dogshit system we shouldn't lend credibility to if the only choices are unlimited genocide or allegedly slightly more genocide
Fascism is here. You live in a fascist country under fascism. Enjoy exercising your right to rubber stamp genocide
"I, John Brown, am now quite certain, that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away, but with blood."
Notice how the greatest American of all time wasn't going around pleading for votes. Justice doesn't come from a ballot box.
Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun
Ok I'm voting for Biden by not voting for Trump
Opps, you did a fascism.
You can't "slow down fascism" by voting, fascism arrives on its own timeline based on the falling rate of profit. The capitalists don't care who is in charge, they own both parties - when the time comes that fascism is necessary to beat down the workers and keep up profits, it will spring up like a flame regardless of whether the drapes in the White House are blue or red.
Really Adolf Hitler wasnt that bad when you compare him to 125% Hitler. Regular 100% Hitler is the only sensible choice when 125% Hitler is on the ballot
Curious how you want me to vote for the baby killer so much
If we occasionally elect the greater of two evils and then occasionally the lesser of two evils, which direction are we ultimately headed in?
C'mon, man. I argued just yesterday for keeping federation with lemmee. Don't make a fool out of me.
Lesser evilism still results in an evil society in the end. We will not support genocide Joe there’s literally nothing you can type or say that will ever change that.
this shit is so sad is comes across as a bit. is it?
If you think the goal is "slowing down" fascism, then you are a fascists best friend. You prostrate yourself before fascism and give up any leverage again and again. You are less the useless
If Trump was in office at least there'd be one side of the aisle openly denouncing this genocide right now but they're not at the moment because it's not politically convenient for them. That tells me all I need to know about the Democratic party. All of their values are conditional and paper thin. Behind the rhetoric they really stand for all the same stuff the Republicans do.
We sure harm reduced the fuck out of abortion rights, didn't we?
your "democracy" is a sham and here's why
also: fuck you genocide apologist
