Even if your best option is to vote for postponing the day leftists start getting hauled off to camps, you should still vote. Activism is harder when you're in a mega prison.

The assumption that the Democrats aren't fascist is why the cycle remains unbroken

They're all corrupt. Just ask the dead Palestinians

Most people who read and write the comments here are frustrated because there is no known mechanism to have large scale change in the USA. Only minor victories that are easily lost to time.

Unfortunately what it really resolves to (and always has) is us, the people,

Tap for spoilerBeing forced to solve the problem

Is everyone lost in the sauce in these comments? The meme is about holding fascists accountable for things like authoritarian actions, not passing milquetoast policies to capitulate to their voting base when they don't follow through on 90% of what their campaign promises were.

Talking Epstein action, state surveillance overreach, actual war crimes and unconstitutional breaches that are handwaved away or not addressed (usually strengthened or re-instituted during "progressive" times). This has been going on since the civil war, "Let's move on and focus on the future, not hold people to standards or accountability (or the actual fucking law)". I predict maybe 2-3 high profile cases during the next presidential term that will try to go after someone but will just be a drop in the bucket compared to what people are getting away with.

Vote with one hand, throw a brick with the other.

Become ambidextrous. Become ungovernable.

The only way forward is to liquidate the billionaires as a class.

Sales pitch: An organization that, after one dies, donates one's spine to the USA Democrat Party.

EDIT: not necessarily a charity. This is a sales pitch, after all :P

Wait until he realizes the fascists and the Democrats are the same people, it's a straight line.

The US is a corrupt settler colony with no redeeming values and must be destroyed. Reform is impossible. Death to America.
