    I agree that it is insane to concede power to fascism. I have kids and will be voting for Biden for this reason. I’m aware that when full fascism comes, it will not be pretty. But I also understand that capitalism will eventually decay into fascism. So, I am sympathetic to those that want to do something outside the system of just voting. I’m not trying to change your mind. I’m just trying to make people understand the situation we’re in.

      Well I’m glad I don’t have to have the Cornel West argument here.

      I think we agree that the whole Earth is in a dangerous and precarious situation and far too many people are still not acknowledging this?

      Do you disagree that Biden has delivered more policy for the Left as a whole than any president since LBJ?

        Civil rights and the voter rights act were pretty big, so I don’t know. Biden has done more for the environment( he needs to do more) and that affects us all. I like Biden. I think he wants to do more. But he is beholden to the DNC and it’s corporate donors. When he gets his next term, expect him to do more.

          Well if we’re talking “abolish the 2-party system” (with electoral reform) then I’m 100% agreed

            The DNC won’t let that happen. If they didn’t course correct after Bernie / Hillary, they never will. She should’ve picked him as VP. They would have freaked out.

              I 100% agree both parties will resist as much as possible.

              I personally think campaigning for electoral reform is better than trying to fully overthrow the existing system but I agree it is a very uphill battle.

                Thanks for the conversation. It helps to question my belief system. I hope I’m wrong about the future.
