    I am still going to vote for them.

    This is why things have gotten progressively worse, they can do anything they want, including ignoring their base, and rest assured it won’t cost them votes.

      But the alternative is a gamble on fascism, in a 2 party system you have to pick the establishment you dislike least.

        I don’t have to pick either, I refuse to participate in my own subjugation

          Which means you’ve made a choice, and it’s pro fascism.

            I’m not the one picking fascists to run the country.

              Except, by refusing to participate, you are. That’s how our system works. It’s stupid, but that’s how it works.

                There’s a better chance of you voting for a republican than any left is voting for a Democrat. We vote for what we want to see in government. Not constantly voting against something. Voting against something is a protest vote, that’s the wasted one

                  No, you’re voting to move in the right direction.

                  Voting is like taking the bus, you get on the one going the direction you want. And then, you get on another bus that continues to take you towards your destination.

                  You don’t get on a bus going the opposite direction, or refuse to go at all unless there’s a bus going from your front door direct to your destination. That’s just stupidity. That’s what you’re advocating for, and we’re never going to get to a better place if people like you don’t wake up and see that.

                    I was on that bus a long time ago and assumed the driver knew which direction he was headed and knows his route. After being on the bus a while I noticed he was headed the wrong direction while also claiming we are almost there. I voiced my concerns he was headed in the wrong direction but was told to sit down and shut up, the driver knows where they are going, besides claiming we are almost there. As they continued to drive the wrong direction taking me further from my destination than I ever thought possible. I knew it was time get off the bus despite all the other passengers kept demanding I listen to the driver, and we are almost there if I just wait a little longer.

              But you will be, though. Standing by and not even voting does not mean you are morally superior.

                There is no difference between red or blue fascism, one is openly racist, bigoted, and fascist. The other is covert

            Voting for Biden or whoever his replacement is the subjugation, and liberals cheer on their own suppression

              LOL, and if the Republicans seize power they’ll say “hold my beer” when it comes to any supposed “suppression” being done by Biden.

                Private prisons, welfare reform, crime bill, cop cities, providing military equipment to cops, arresting protesters, this list of subjugation by democrats is near endless. Republicans are no better, but we know what to expect from them

                    Someone needs to be an accelerationist. This whole baby step incrementalism shit is how your party turned into right wing propaganda machine that it is.
