Comment on the two party system is just one big party

  The democrats are also psychopaths, dude, I don’t know what to tell you. Biden & Harris supported genocide, Nancy Pelosi stood and applauded Trump at the state of the union ranting about how we need to invade Iran. They’re not just wet noodles, they are actively fucking evil as fuck, you just aren’t seeing it because Trump is so obviously evil and the Democrats are subtle.

  We don’t need to settle for these cryptofascists. We can effect REAL CHANGE if we just stop all the defeatism.

    I viewed it the same way, but largely the moment has passed for this rationale to work. When the democrats and republicans were similar enough for it to work, 3rd parties could have done something. But like nowhere in the world has anyone voted themselves out of fascism. 3rd parties are what you do before fascism arrives in full.

    I vote for dems now because there’s a chance Trump will attempt to forcibly override the election and if he does it makes our task of dismantling the fascist projects and their media much easier.

      The Democrats would not dismantle fascism, they’d embrace it and stick a progressive coat of paint on it. Take off the rose-tinted glasses.

        I don’t think you’re reading what was written. Voting won’t fix fascism. Period. 3rd parties won’t fix anything at this point, if anything it would align both parties against it. Democrats would hapilly align with republicans to crush a third party right now

        The hope here is to create a conflict between trump and his media and democrats and their media with the best case scenario being heavy backlash to democrat politicians from trump aligned politicians.
