    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

        That’s sheer nonsense. Who’s side are you on, anyway?

            believe it or not you’re actually capable of agitating and organizing while also taking a couple hours every two years to fill out a bubble sheet

              Unless there’s a communist or at least a socialist on the ticket that bubble stays blank.

                Ah, so you’ve decided to vote for Trump I see.

                A “protest vote” is a vote for Trump.

                  I’m not the one casting for a vote for fascism lite. I want NO fascism

                    Here, since you don’t seem to actually know what real fascism is: wiki

                    What you want (giving you a brief assumption that you’re actually genuine) is a radical overnight change from capitalism to a socialism based economy. Which is respectable, id like that too. Id like our government to actually provide real healthcare and cut out private companies and nationalize everything from water to electricity to ISPs and actually serve the people like governments should.

                    But it will. Not. Happen. Overnight. It’s just not realistic in any sense of the word unless you have the ability to bring things into existence from sheer will.

                    Even the real fascists on the far-right took DECADES of propaganda and billions upon billions of dollars getting to where they are now

                    To bring things as far left as you want is going to take time and effort.

                    You want to know how you bring a country left? You vote for the leftist most candidate, with the best shot of winning you can. If all Democrats continuously showed up to vote as much as Republicunts did we wouldn’t be in this mess and we likely would be a lot further left than we are now

                    You need to swallow your pride and selfishness and vote left with whoever is on the ballot, then vote D down ticket. If we all voted D consistently, in droves, year after year then the Republican party would fade into irrelevancy.

                    When that happens what we now know as the DNC will be the new Republicans and another more left party will take their place. Then we do the same thing, voting ever more left.

                    But it’s going to take time, that’s unavoidable, but it certainly doesn’t help with you screaming “fascist” at every single candidate that isn’t perfectly aligned with pure unadulterated socialism.

                    You are a living example of the quote “Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good”
