    You explained what I already said: Neoliberalism creates the conditions for fascism. When one candidate is a Neoliberal, they leave the door open for fascism. When one candidate is a fascist, you’re straight jumping to fascism.

    Delaying the slide to fascism by voting neoliberal is the preferred course of action.

    You’re a fed, you have no knowledge of theory and exist purely to spoil the pot.

      You called this person a fed a bunch of times. Fed jacketing is a big deal, and it’s even more of big deal on a platform that has NSA documents outlining its structure and weaknesses.

      Do you have any evidence for this accusation or are you just using it as a rhetorical device?

        Rhetorically, though I’ve blocked them and decided to stop engaging. I agree, it is a serious accusation and I probably should’ve refrained from doing it, but they were acting both extremely reactionary and never once denied being a fed, so I wouldn’t be surprised if it was true.

        Still, fair point, I won’t baselessly call people feds if I disagree with them alone, thanks for bringing the NSA bit to my attention.

      A tiger cub is still a tiger. You can cuddle and pet a tiger cub. Even let your kids play with it. But a full grown tiger? That’s dangerous to have around, especially if it gets hungry.

        Sure, so then there’s no difference in voting to be locked in a room alone with a tiger cub vs an adult tiger, got it.

        The tiger cub buys time to make meaningful grassroots change, even if it still continues the path to an eventual adult tiger.

            Nope. Obama didn’t result in fascism even after 8 years.

            You’re a fed.

              obama ran out of bombs and deported more people than bush or trump.

              in fact, at the outset of his presidency, he promised a new era of cooperation between business and government. that’s literally mussolini’s fascism.

                It is not literally musollinis fascism. Certainly a start, but if you’re legitimately saying mussolini is equivalent to Obama then again, you’re a theoryless fed, and likely an actual fascist trying to commit fascist apologia.

                Please, read theory for once.

                  mussolini’s fascism, once, had a start as well.

                    It did, yes.

                    You are advocating that there is no difference between fascism and pre-fascism, so letting fascism happen is okay.

                    This is reactionary behavior and in no way helps the Proletariat.

                Yep, and it got worse after Trump got elected. Obama wasn’t the fascism, even if fascism is rising thanks to Neoliberalism.

                    Social Democracy is Communism. Bernie is a Communist.

                    No, moderate policies are not extremist policies.
