    I voted blue in 2020 to stop fascism.

    Then the guy I voted for did genocide.

    Death to America

      Then please go somewhere else, I’m working hard to keep something I disagree with because I have the nuance of thought required to understand something as complex as “the lesser of two evils”.

      Just take your accelerationist shit away, it’s unhelpful.

        I voted for the lesser of two evils in 2020 and now he’s doing a genocide. That’s where this strategy has lead us.

        I won’t do it anymore.

          You voted for one genocide instead of two. And it worked. Good job. You helped. Please keep helping.

              Oh yea, the collapse of the American government will definitely prevent a world war and not make it happen faster

                The US is the largest and most belligerent military force on the planet. The only comparable contemporary is Russia, and they’re basically just a gas station with guns.

                Yes, the defeat of the US will save the world.

              Insurrection against a liberal government is easier than insurrection against a fascist government. I don’t want to have to deal with Trump’s Proud Boy Gestapo on top of all the challenges the revolution already faces.

                I don’t remember Trump’s Proud Boy Gestapo killing everyone during the 2020 BLM uprising.

                  “You know what? It’ll be fixed! It’ll be fine. You won’t have to vote any more, my beautiful Christians,” he said with a slight shake of his head and his right hand pressed against the left side of his chest.
                  He added: “I love you. Get out – you gotta get out and vote. In four years, you don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good, you’re not gonna have to vote.”
                  Trump’s remarks – delivered not far from his Mar-a-Lago resort and home – were immediately met with consternation in some political quarters.
                  The constitutional and civil rights attorney Andrew Seidel, for instance, replied to video of Trump’s comments circulating on X by writing: “This is not subtle Christian nationalism. He’s talking about ending our democracy and installing a Christian nation.”

                  The stakes are a little higher this time than in 2016. The plan is bolder. The future will not be like the past.

                    The plan is bolder, the planner is older and more unpopular than he has ever been. He can say whatever he wants, this is literally a fantasy of a dying old man.

                    The future will not be the past, but it rhymes. The plan is bolder, and the resistance will be bolder too. The potential for Trump to become a dictator is far less than the potential for the People to defeat him. I want you to seriously think about what you are going to do when he steals the election.

                    And I will not be scared and threatened into into voting for genocide.

                    Sounds like this is shaping up to be the Most Important Election in our Lifetime!

        When you keep voting lesser evil for decades, you end up with full-blown evil…
