    One day y’all will get the point that this entire ideology is in and of itself fascist.

    “We aren’t fascist we just stripped you of all other choices and move the goalposts anytime someone gets close to inclusion then blame you for wanting another option while shrieking that only WE can save the country but also we won’t save it either cause we haven’t had a platform other than ‘slightly less right’ for over a decade or two now.”

      One day you will get the point that the reality is that we as voters don’t make the rules.

      Yeah, you’re right. We’re boxed into this shitty ass system. Grandstanding about how shitty it is doesn’t magically create a solution.

      We vote for the least worst option and try to make progress towards a better situation in the future. It’s either that or we fall to actual fascists who would rather take the vote away.

        “Actual fascists”

        We already have “actual fascists.” Reread your comment, even by YALLS OWN EXPLANATION, our vote was taken away long before we were born. Nothing but performative bullshit so you can claim to be the “good guy” as we’re further and further clamped down on.

        What you actually mean by “take the vote away” is “take your status quo” away. Biden and dems have been pushing legislation to take away all the hassle of nuking leftist organizations and to make ANY criticism of Israel something that let’s them strip a school of funding and accreditation if they allow it - but y’all don’t mind any of that “actual fascism” because it doesn’t affect your personal day to day life.

        You can fly your pride flags all you want but you’re throwing Palestinians under the bus to protect your warmongering corporatist status quo, y’all are starting to throw trans people under the bus to protect it, and when the time comes you’ll do the same to gays and POC all while screaming about the “lesser of two evils.”

          ^ Someone who sees the problem and offers no solution, just like everyone else with their position

          You can fly your pride flags all you want but you’re throwing Palestinians under the bus to protect your warmongering corporatist status quo

          There are no good guys. Only bad guys and much worse guys. Guess you want to virtue signal your way into the much worse guy so you can feel better? That’s great, but maybe when we’re lynching lgbtq folk as well as Palestinians you might consider looking in a mirror and wondering if your inaction made things worse.

          Or, more likely, you’ll complain about how doing something doesn’t matter while the actual fascists you can’t tell the difference between set their sights on another marginalized group.

          Do something or join the people who are.

            There are solutions, you just don’t like them and in proper faschie fashion you ignore them and claim that anyone left of biden is advocating for not voting (as you’re doing RIGHT NOW. “Wondering if your inaction makes things worse.” “You’ll complain about how doing something doesn’t matter”)

            That’s literally fascist tactics but you also love the other fascist tactic of asserting that ONLY YOU can save the country so you have no choice but to spread disinformation swearing up and down that leftists do nothing but tell people not to vote (which I’ve literally NEVER seen, by the way, not that fascists care about reality.)

            My food is done so I’m blocking you now. I don’t owe my time to fascists or people who argue in bad faith, and your both (of course, they go hand in hand)

              Ah yes, the old “my solutions are the only ones that work” Good luck with that.

              By the way, deciding that everyone but you is a fascist is a great way to not have allies.

              spread disinformation swearing up and down that leftists do nothing but tell people not to vote (which I’ve literally NEVER seen, by the way, not that fascists care about reality.)

              Bro. Look around. There are people saying they won’t vote democrat here in this comment section, much less the whole of leftist lemmy.

              Block me, I don’t care. There’s no point in arguing with someone virtue signaling as hard as you are anyway.

              Hope you don’t mind being blocked back. I don’t have time to argue with an idealist basement dweller about some imaginary solutions that make him feel better
