While rebutting another post here on Lemmy, I ran into this. This says exactly what I want to say.
I am not a friend of Biden’s Administration. I think they drug their feet over a variety of things ranging from holding Trump and his goons accountable for January 6th through rulemaking on issues like OTC Birth Control and abortion rights, and yes, I think he’s too quick to please big business. But then I remember what the alternative is, and … well, disappointed in Biden or not, I’m voting for him. Because my wife is a Black bisexual goth woman, four strikes under Team Pepe’s tent. And I have my own strikes for marrying her as a White dude, and respecting her right to not have kids since she doesn’t want them is another strike against me. And I care about my Non-Christian, Gay, Transgender, and Minority friends, and will never willingly subject them to Team Pepe.
Fascism is inevitable if we count on someone like Hindenburg or Biden to save us, because they either can’t or don’t want to.
Refusing to act because you are idle daydreaming about a perfect solution is the dumbest way of enabling fascism. So thanks for that.
You are fulfilling your own prophecy of making fascism inevitable. And you don’t sound as intelligent to the people who understand what’s on the line as you do to yourself.
Thanks again for stating outright that you’re cool with fascism as long as a true left wing candidate doesn’t exist.
In your opinion, is fascism more of a threat now than it was in 2020?
Yes, explicitly. Trump is campaigning on taking political revenge on the party that “stole” his presidency. Republicans are passing bills criminalizing the bare existence of demographics like trans people.
Dude, I was reading just yesterday that Missouri passed a law making it illegal to view lgbtq content without first identifying yourself.
I live in an area in the south where people talk every day about how democrats are going to hang once Trump takes office because they believe all our problems were caused by Biden. It wasn’t like this in 2020.
You think you’re setting me up for some kind of gotcha, but you’re not paying attention.
Keep day dreaming. It’s obvious you don’t see the writing on the wall. I’m done playing this game where people like you assert that voting Biden is somehow worse than the power grab republicans are practically advertising at this point.
This conversation is over. Thanks again for wasting your vote.
