      Arrests are the same as black vans and the president urging for brutalization of protestors, I see.

        Of course they aren’t 100% the same, why lose face when you can let your opponent do it for you? There’s good reason the Democrats let Republicans do whatever they want unpunished, they both serve their corporate donors above all else.

          I see. Both sides bad, and colluding. Ratchet effect. But instead of pushing the gear so we rest against a tooth, allow the ratchet to do another click. Ignore Uncommitted, since we don’t like what they’re saying any longer. Listen to individuals when we like what they’re saying. What we like is to have a ratchet click. Then socialist revolution with Repubs at the helm.

            Even if we push the gear, it clicks again. The Democrats are moving to the right, against their voterbase. You have no solution, fascism is coming even with Dems at the helm.

              Therefore allow it to come faster with Repubs, I see.

                No, the Repubs are also evil.

                What is your solution? How are you proposing fascism be stopped?

                  You’re right about organizing outside of elections. You’re wrong about “elections alone cannot fix it therefore throw your ballot in the garbage.” Whatever the solution is, I would rather attempt it under a slower transition into fascism.

                    Fascism comes from continuously deteriorating material conditions, not from whichever party is in power. Harris is already campaigning on improving conditions for “small business owners,” continuing Capitalism in decay continues fascism’s ascent. My point is that voting will not slow down or speed up fascism, that’s something that comes with the economic conditions of society and the class relations within.
