    I think it’s worth trying something that has some evidence behind it before going straight to eco-fascism, no?

    And you said that my dogcatcher line was bad faith.

      Well, idk, you never responded when I was asking what this third party president would do about the legislative and judiciary being very anti-progressive, and just seemed to assume that third party president means no more oil/fascists tomorrow. If you’re willing to discuss the mechanisms behind that, then sure, but what you’re describing without going into any further detail seems to be just eco-fascism.

        Your criteria are impossible to meet before the two party hegemony gives us regular fascism. But that’s the point in coming up with endless excuses for why it’s never the time for anything other than voting for whichever pro-genocide geriatric is second worst.

          Again, I gave examples of why it’s not impossible and has been accomplished before, but you keep saying it’s impossible because of the time scale. Which, maybe, but the alternative is eco-fascism, unless you provide me with some other means of achieving this rapid change.

          I’m also not saying that you can’t or shouldn’t vote your conscience, like I said, I’ve done so as well. Third parties can and should be on the ballot, but actually getting elected or accomplishing what you want just isn’t possible without more than the executive with these views in power.

          Believe me, I’m beyond frustrated as well, but even back when I was campaigning for Bernie before Trump had his first nomination, I realized that if he won, change wouldn’t happen nearly as fast as it probably needs to.
