    I am not so sure it will delay it. If we get a democrat then they will move the goal post for worse, if we don’t we will lose democracy we don’t have. During Trump there where some good antigovernment riots due to George Floyd and American army moved out of Afghanistan. During Biden, we got war in Ukraine and increased genocide in Gaza. Altough they both have same goals, there are benefits to having an evil idiot instead of evil smarter person in power.

    Either way, you can vote for whoever you want and It won’t really hurt. But it definitely wont help either.

    I am not against voting, but the metaphor is really wrong and it doesn’t communicate how voting changes almost nothing.

    The problem is that Hilary supported Trump in pied piper strategy to have an easier person to run against. This means that you are doing exactly what they want you to do and they are protecting Trump because they need him to be the other candidate so you are forced to support ice cream made of genocide.

    Democrats are terrorists now, that hold the entire country hostage and demand murder of civilians in Gaza for their financial gain. We don’t have democracy either way, we will have genocide, wars and poverty either way. There really isn’t that big of a difference, because they support each other so they can win against us, the people. They are the same team, funded by same people, running on same campaigns, running the same narrative of lesser evil vs evil, while actually working together.

    Their next move is for democrats to support same policies that republicans do now, and fund even more extreme republicans so that can be their candidate. The strategy clearly works. Whatever you are voting against this elections, you will be forced to vote for the next.




  • I thought I replied to the main point of the argument. I can reply to those specific questions, but I don’t think that really communicates my point. It is not necessarily as bad, but it is very close. I don’t really think that most problems with Trump are comparable to killing huge population of innocent people. Most of the problems are general racism, corruption and thievery. Most articles critiquing Trump aren’t about how he rounded up a bunch of innocent people in Gaza and starved them to death. As horrible as he is, you need to see the weight of these actions by Democrates and that they can not be accepted under no circumstances. They should be addressed as a priority.


  • Liberals get so focused on law, not questioning what the law is about and who wrote that law and for what purpose. Killing innocent people is the worst thing you can support, even an insurrection, as horrible as it is, if it didn’t get as many innocent people killed, is far less immoral then actual war.

    If your ideology is unquestionably supporting the law, then you are fascist, by definition.



  • You need to do more than that if you want to fight fascism in America. Primaries aren’t fair, the rich choose who gets elected. And by voting for any prowar candidate instead of some other prowar candidate will not change much either, as there is nothing more important than the loss of human lives. As important as trans rights are, people in Gaza can’t escape now and they are actively being killed now. Focusing on trans rights now is like saying “All lives matter”, they do, but no body is saying they don’t, we just have people who are under threat right now.
