    You are claiming that if I don’t buy into your delusional fantasy that must mean I want to be where your politics have landed us. It’s incoherent and patently dishonest, but it’s the only way you can create a narrative for yourself wherein you can avoid ever entertaining the possibility that you’re wrong, that history has proved you wrong already.

    And the irony is lost on you.

      I don’t have to guess whether you’re right or not, because we’re literally living your politics right now. We are witnessing its abject failure at this very moment.

      And it looks exactly like genocide and slow complicity into fascist decay.

          Am I talking to a bot?

          Tell you more about how conservative democrats have been controlling the party for decades and now, mysteriously, we’re at fascism’s door? That’s what you’re asking me? Why I believe obstructionist, right-wing Democrats don’t represent a way forward?

          Go look how many Democrats voted for Citizens United. How many Democrats voted for the Patriot Act. How many Democrats voted to invade Iraq, voted to send no strings attached military aid to Israel again and again. How about ask yourself why Democrats didn’t legislate bodily autonomy under Obama when they had a super majority and he literally promised it would be his first priority. Ask yourself why they instead chose to pass a forced private insurance bill that was literally crafted by Republicans. They had a fucking super majority and they still managed to lose.

          Go back and rewatch Biden idiotically babbling about “rEaChInG aCRoSs tHe AiSlE” to the literal fascists during his campaign, immediately after we just witnessed a Trump presidency and saw that the GOP was full on fascist.

          Like how many more of these bumbling corporate idiots will it take for the penny to drop and make you finally realize “Wait a second…the lesser of two evils literally isn’t delaying fascism at all!”

          Tell me exactly how many more lesser of two evils we need to dutifully elect until we stop trending towards fascism.

            I’m letting you speak your mind. You’re making yourself look even more stupid all on your own.

              Ok, so no answer to Democratic complicity over the decades as to our situation right now. Got it, I guess you can’t be blamed if they didn’t include it in your training data.
