    Is it though? I’d love to know who the other options are in a First Past the Post democracy.

      You’re right, lets just keep nickle and diming ourselves deeper into fascism.

        Or maybe, start campaigning for you choice about 4 years ago. Get us all on the same page, 4 years ago. Or, crazy idea, go with the guy who won’t quite literally end democracy on day one.

        One of the two candidates said “I’ll be a dictator for a day, just one day”. My vote is for the guy who doesn’t want to openly be a dictator (and also isn’t a convicted felon)

            Sooooo the solution is to let the guy who wants to be a dictator win this time? Is it out of spite, or wanna let me know why

              The race is between 2 dictators.

              I dont vote for any dictators.

        I’d rather nickel and dime to fascism than go pot committed to fascism. Voting 3rd party is just accelerationism with self justification.

        As I’ve said before, start at the local level and build up a real base of support rather than just moralizing every 4 years.

              Nope. Again. I oppose fascism. I know the concept confuses you, but you do that by not voting for fascists.

                Keep moralizing to yourself about your accelerationist beliefs. You’re only lying to yourself and showing everyone that you have a basic misunderstanding of the electoral process.

                But please, tell me again how I’m a fascist while you’re advocating behavior that will directly lead to direct and overt fascism. You may not like it, but it is what it is.

                If you really opposed fascism, you’d take the path that brought about harm reduction instead of pouring gasoline on the fire (or advocating for the same behavior those you oppose do). But either way, I have no more interest in listening to your accelerationist moralizing. Good day.
