The current political crisis is a competition of ideas. Specifically who can spread their ideas the farthest and the fastest. Neo-liberalism is entrenched in our society and because of that fascism is on the rise. People reflexively reject socialism without understanding that the ideas work and would improve our lives.
We need to vote for Biden in 2024, because he is going to be the Democratic nominee. But defeating Trump will not be the end of this problem. Unless we successfully perform a political revolution we are going to be in this same situation with the threat of a fascist take-over every presidential election.
We need wealth redistribution and also systemic change to our political and economic institutions. To do that we do need high voter turnout. We need people to vote for socialists and progressives in 2026 and 2028. To get those votes we need to change minds.
I personally appreciate the sentiment of this meme, because we need to be encouraging voter turnout. But the fascist movement will only grow the longer we stick with neo-liberalism. The more wealth inequality grows the more people who will be susceptible to fascist ideas.
Sure, sure comrade I get it. Say - remind me who the progressive was in 2018, 2020? What laws did they pass?
None? Really. Hm. What about 2016? None again eh. So - what, they’re not very good? Utterly unelectable? Maybe they don’t have corporate money so we just don’t know about them? Ohhhh right - the whole thing is a dark lizard cabal and to get in you have to murder a child and eat them on pizza or something right?
Oh god you’re in Texas. Mmm. Well. Yeah. Sorry. The politics there are worse than 48 other states. I can see how it might be particularly troubling to have hope.
Also, as it turns out, there really was dark pedophile cabal, so.

Congratulations! You noticed the cycle! Here is a cookie!
Now are you going to pay your “protection” dues or are you going to get your legs broke?
They’re obviously going to get their legs broke. They’re standing in line for it. It’s so brave!
Also, they’re going to get all the rest of our legs broke. Which. Is less brave, more like, asshole.
