Comment on Newsom Vows to Stop Proposed Billionaire Tax in California
TheAlbatross@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months agoIt’s a lose-lose scenario innit. Don’t vote, aid in growing fascism, vote, give tacit approval for the DNCs continuous onslaught of dogshit candidates who will do nothing to fight growing fascism or improve the material conditions for Americans.
None of it matters if you don’t live in a battleground state, to be fair. If you’re in a firm blue or red state, your vote simply doesn’t matter.

It’s lose-lose but it’s painfully obvious one loss is worse than the other.

Kicking the can down the road is not a solution. The Democrats keep running dog shit centrist candidates that alienate their base and are blown away when they keep loosing elections.

I’m ready once the crack downs hit my Midwest town. You on the other hand are happy to be civil while the government disappears everyone around tou

Yup. Lose big fast or lose big slow. It’s politics, baby, you’ll never win, that’s for rich people only.

Slow. Slow has always been the better choice.

Yup. And the DNC will take advantage of that fear to put forth candidates who will maintain the new status quo and fix nothing. The RNC will capitalize on the voter apathy and disconnect the DNC manufacturers and push the country further right.
Repeat ad nauseum. There’s no solving this via elections, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t participate in it.
